This is going to be a little different than the other thread. (It's fun but a little slow) The intention for this thread is for the photos to be well known landmarks so that it doesn't take much effort to know where the pic is. I think this will give some opportunity for more people to just go ride to the current spot immediately. If you're bored with nothing to do you can ride to the speed tag spot and post a photo. FUN!

Rules.

1. Pics must be of your bike at a landmark that is reasonably easy to find. (I want to go there NOW!)

2. Within the City of Minneapolis (i mean this isn't TCbikelove)

3. New pic must be taken on the same ride before or after finding the current spot.


There it is. GO RIDE!

I have to go to work so someone else can post the first pic. Make it easy :cool:

Shit, now why didn't I take a pic of that when I was out there last night?

Grumble grumble grumble...

Hmm, we are just starting this out. There aren't a ton of places in minneapolis itself that fall into the easily recognized category. I think the Depot would probably qualify, as tons of us ride by it all the time, and it's really only a little ways outside of town. Seems we'd be leaving a lot of stuff out. As long as it's something where just about everyone would know where it is, I think we should be flexible.

Thoughts?

It's outside the city limits. I was quicker with the camera than I was with the reading.

Shoulda pulled an e-bomber and quick substituted a picture of the Lyndon Hills Depot, but gotta go do something else now!

I think I could help with that if no one else will...
