BCF Round Britain Challenge - would you be interested?

[Matt B]

On another forum that I used to frequent they run a challenge with 100 locations around Britain.
The locations are split into groups, like BSB circuits or regionally, 10 points for each location tagged and a bonus for completing a group.
Each participant gets a number and all you have to do is photograph your bike with your number at the location and post it up. It's a bit like the Bike Picture Challenge or the South East tag but with set locations so you can plan in advance.

Do you think this would work on BCF? Would anybody be interested in taking part?

The idea is just to get out and riding and visit a few locations.

I am planning on doing some of the Round Britain Rally this year. Not as a three month sabbatical like Stinkwheel was able to do but break it into sections and do what I can a week at a time.

I've a mate in the Borders that is hoping to meet-up with me and ride some together.

Do or do not do, there is no canvassing of opinions.

[LordShaftesbu...]

How would it work, exactly?

[Speed]

Wasn't there a thread about this not so long back?

[Matt B]

So the idea is to visit 100 places around the UK and photograph your bike at each place (or as many as you can). Anybody who wants to take part gets a number.

For example, and using some locations robbed from the other forum, the groups of locations include:

PUB NAMES These can be anywhere in the uk to give everyone a chance to get started
Red Lion, Royal Oak, White Hart, Rose & Crown, Railway, White Horse, Crown, Kings Head, Kings Arms, Plough

BSB CIRCUITS
Brands Hatch, Silverstone, Donington Park, Oulton Park, Knockhill, Snetterton, Thruxton, Cadwell Park.

Then locations in England, Scotland and Wales like
Rutland Water - Crazy Fox Cafe
Brighton - Madeira drive
Towcester - Jack’s Hill Cafe
London - Ace Cafe

You visit as many as you can, post a pic of your bike there, and we keep a running total of the scores. Winner is the first to complete all 100 or the highest scorer at the end of a set time.

10 points per location and 50 bonus points for completing a full group. So if you get all the BSB circuits you score 80+50 = 130 points.

My bike at Jack's Hill Cafe - 10 points for that

[LordShaftesbu...]

How about 1 point per location and 5 bonus points for completing a full group?

Sounds interesting, I won't be in it to win it as I don't have the time but it could be fun anyway.

[Alpha-9]

Sounds like BCF picture thread without all the faggoty "PUT A FLESHLIGHT ON YOUR SEAT AND A CUCUMBER UP YOUR ARSE AND TAKE A PICTURE OF YOUR BIKE WITH A TRAFFIC CONE"

Sounds good. Do we care about having our own numbers?

10 to the power of 4 for a normal location and 10 to the 6 for a whole group?

[Musketeer]

Interested Why numbers not nicknames though?

Any geographical weighting?

Base points = pi

Double if outside the M25 (because is Adventure Biking in the hinterlands).

Multiply by the number of sausages in a "single sausage" from the chippy.

Double if the locals sound like they're speaking Klingon, or have six toes, or the bank notes look a bit funny.

Whinged the Provincial oik.
