    I knew exactly where it is from the get-go but just have not had any chance to ride that way yet. Frustrating.

    ...should've picked it up last week when I was in the 'hood...

    It will be a beautiful sunny saturday. Anybody interested in getting this tag? OR shall I pick something closer to Encinitas?
  4.  
    I will get to it eventually. And by eventually I mean this weekend. But by all means do change it if you think it will move the game on any faster.

    Fixed it for you. In the future, you will need to copy the "image address." Not sure how that's done on an iphone as I use a blackberry. Great! --moderator

    yeeeaaaaa.

    So now I just tag some place else within the parameters.

    If someone beats me to it that is grand.

    Read the rules on page 1. Your bike must be in the photo. Unless forum members agree, we can accept this one.

    Just to clarify - is James' new tag valid or not?

    I think his tag should be given an exemption and be approved, myself.
  10.  
    I like exemptions

    :face-angel:

    : )

    But I plan on going for a peddle later today. I will add the bike.

    This is fun. I am enjoying it.

    thanx

    Joint century tag (Invaders from the South):


    Thanks for the edit, here is the better version.

    We did talk to the owner out front. Fun bikes.

    Did you say hello to the guys in the shop?

    Nice people, and a good place to rent some beach cruisers

    Got it.

    Sorry for the bad quality. Somehow my cell phone did not save the shot so I had to grab a screen shot of the video I shot with my new helmet cam. Have not figured out how to grab frames from the clips directly yet.



    Next tag will go up tonight, weather permitting.

    Although I don't check this forum very often, I'll participate as I can.

    Please review the rules (first post in this thread).
    You need to find one (and be the first to find it) before posting one yourself.
  17.  
    True, I did proceed out of order. :face-angel:

    Maybe I'm confused - but what is the last untagged entry? It appears that they all were tagged by at least one person (except mine) - so do we keep going with them, or they 'invalid' after one tag?

    Since the first one, it's a chain.
    A posts a tag.
    Someone (B) finds it.
    B posts a new tag.
    C finds B's tag.
    C posts a new tag.
    D find C's tag.
    And so on.

    You can't just jump in in the middle of the chain and post a new tag - you have to link into the existing chain by being the first one to find the current one (which currently is not yet posted).

    It's batmick's turn since he found the last tag (Java Depot).

    You have to give him time...

    There is only one "live" tag at a time. I just tagged the last one and will place a new tag later today.

    Find it and take a pic of your bike in front of it first and you can choose the next tag.

    Just to clarify a bit, BuffaloBrent - there is no real substantive reason for us to not allow more than one chain of tags going at the same time other than it might be getting confusing: Most of us here seem to be a bit single-minded...

    :face-devil-grin:

    It might be fun to have a variety of tags to choose from, but it would get messy to track more than one per thread, I bet. I mean, let's say Brent's tag goes live, and, before anyone finds it, batmick posts his. Now we have two live tags. Now Sigurd finds Brent's, and posts a new one. And that one is found by BikingBill, who posts a new one. Now someone shows up and tries to figure out what the live tags are, but batmick's is buried a page or two back, obscure by a much of tags that have been found.

    So, I would recommend starting a new/separate thread, Coastal North County Bike-o-Rama II, to eliminate the confusion. Copy/paste/edit the first post from this one...

    Bike Pic 6
    and here's the next one. It's on a street that the Coalition had to fight very hard to get space for bike lanes...
    Last one was the Crosby Gate at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. It drove me crazy to get it, because for some reason I though the tag was at the Solana Gate not the Crosby Gate, and I ended up circling the fairgrounds twice till I finally clued in. I really must learn to print out the picture before I go for the ride (or finally break down and buy a smart phone!)

    Had to drive by Performance in Sorrento Valley last night to buy a new chain. The way back to the coast took me past the latest tag. Had meant to leave it for somebody else but the opportunity was too good.




    Next tag will go up tomorrow. I must admit that I am running out of ideas. Maybe it is time to expand the range. Maybe West of El Camino instead of just West of I5 ?

    Here's the next one. Should not be too hard to find the object/region. To find the vantage point look around and remember St. Patrick's Day. It'll come to you...



    Previous tag was on Carmel Valley Road, near Via Aprilia.

    Easy does it! The panoramic view at this location is just amazing. The hidden bench makes it worth while to sit and enjoy the view.

    The image is sideways and small. Where's the guard rail? Telephone pole?

    Image does indeed look like it is a bit further South from my viewpoint but mention of the hidden bench behind the guard rail suggests he found the spot.
    Probably posted from the phone which would explain the image. Maybe it can be fixed later.

    I say it is a valid tag. Pending approval by the mods, you're up Mark!

    Added a photo with the telephone post and hidden bench. The bike has not moved when I took several photos. I just picked the one I like because of the bike shadow.

    There are still more to discover along the coastal area where most ride their bicycles. I have more than a dozen places that have not been posted on this thread.
    Suggestions for tags: murals, new cafes, surf shops, historic monuments, great vistas, monument memorabilia, artsy stuff.

    Last tag was in Cardiff at the intersection of San Elijo Ave. and Dublin Dr. It overlooks the Ocean, PCH, San Elijo Campground and State beach, train tracks.

    Spread your wings a little and expand your horizon. Next up...

    That's a tricky one because google maps has not been updated there... but I didn't know where it was and still figured it out. Now, when will I get there?
