Tagorama

**rosie631** · 31st May 2009, 20:53

Have seen a few threads on here about this. Anyone interested in doing a local one. Post on here if you are and I will start one. Winter I know, but good reason to get off the couch and onto the bike.Rules are easy...

#1 - Find the tag and reproduce the photo (as best as possible). The first person to post a found tag gets to place the next tag. If you get a tag, but somebody else posts their picture first, you lose.

#2 - Take the tag to a new location, get the photo and post it here. Give a few hints so the next person can figure out where the tag is located. Try to place the tags in interesting locations, maybe a bit of history that can be found down some nice twisties.

#3 - Tag must be a) findable and b) may be placed on a dirt road if a street bike can make it. Maintained gravel is OK, but make sure to let folks know that gravel is required to get to your tag. We don't want to exclude those who don't like to get dirty.

#4 - File photos are NOT permitted. You gotta ride to play this game.

#5 - Your bike has to be in the TAG picture

These are the original rules.

Christchurch rules -

1. Tag must be within a 100km radius of Christchurch city.

2. New tag must be posted within 24 hours.

Seems like if a game is started the players will come.

The orginal rules on ADV seem pretty good, better post yours or copy theirs on post #1 of the game thread when it's started.

How far out of town in each direction can we take the tag before it becomes unreasonable?

Might make for a pretty slow game down here through the winter months. But why not.

Yep, I don't do gravel. Not with my new drive belt lol. Awesome sounds like there's a few interested then. I might get the bike out this afternoon and take the first piccie if I can think of somewhere interesting. Actually, I have somewhere in mind.
Distance limit. Don't think that's mentioned in the other threads. What does everyone reckon?? 250 kms? - since it's winter.

Saddens me to hear of people who don't do gravel but at least you have the perfect excuse.
I wouldn't risk a belt drive on gravel either, but there can be no other reason

the original adv rules say gravel is ok but must be "road bikeable" and to say that gravel riding is required.For reference here are teh rules as per the NEW JERSEY adv tag o rama

Garden State Tag-O-Rama

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rules are easy...

#1 - Find the tag and reproduce the photo (as best as possible). The first person to post a found tag gets to place the next tag. If you get a tag, but somebody else posts their picture first, you lose.

#2 - Take the tag to a new location, get the photo and post it here. Give a few hints so the next person can figure out where the tag is located. Try to place the tags in interesting locations, maybe a bit of history that can be found down some nice twisties.

#3 - Tag must be a) findable and b) may be placed on a dirt road if a street bike can make it. Maintained gravel is OK, but make sure to let folks know that gravel is required to get to your tag. We don't want to exclude those who don't like to get dirty.

#4 - File photos are NOT permitted. You gotta ride to play this game.

#5 - Your bike has to be in the TAG picture

there also seems to be rules introduced to make the new tag posted within a reasonable time period (48 or 36 hrs).Distance is limited only by enthusasm of the group.Winter makes it hard cos its dark when i go to work and nearly dark at home time.Prolly same for most people
