Riding Game

In my best Alex Trebek voice,
lets try WELLS for 200

[Guest]

Picture of a well as requested...



This is at Tissington which has 6 wells in the village which is famous for it's 'Well Dressing' tradition.





and the next challenge is an outdoor market. Cattle market, stock market, christmas market, whatever...

[Burque73]

Well well, looky there It's always neat seeing what you come up with Cyranno.

We have a flea market at the fairgrounds on most weekends. Its like a centralized yard sale where most of the unsold stuff on Craigslist winds up.



(Not the next tag, just another shot of the outdoor market)If fleas aren't your preference, there's bedbugs too! A stack of mattresses for sale which I'm sure have never been used.



The next tag is a gas pump with a TV on it. These things are popping up all over the place now. Or maybe something I just noticed since Redman brought it up.

[Burque73]

Hopefully that gas pump TV is easy enough to find in other places. I will say my first pick yesterday was much more interesting, but probably more difficult to find in some places. I got right behind the starting gates at the horse race track before the security guard came over. He didn't even get out of his car so I pulled up next to him on the bike to say hi and explain what I was doing. Without even rolling the window down he just waved to say hi so I did the same and went back to the parking spot behind the gates and snapped some pics. Maybe I will use that spot another time.

Our local WAWA just installed non ethanol pumps and guess what it has.

I hadn't realised my lens was blurry at the next tag. I didn't have my pair of good eyes on, it looked good at the time. This is what I see without them. lol


I could go back and take something better, it's not that far away, but the tag is an outdoor fitness apparatus. You can find them a sports parks, running trails, even at some schools.

[Burque73]

Hey, cool.

Wait, is that next tag a hint that we've been spending too much time in front of a lighted screen and need some exercise?

[lurch12_2000]

Here is the outdoor exercise stuff...only a pullup bar, situp bench and step thingie. I took my grandkids here the other day to show them that Grandpa could still do all those things.

[lurch12_2000]

Next tag is along getting out and exercising....a trail head. This is Bald Knob Mtn trail I did today. It's only 1.1 miles up but an 1100' vertical gain. Fairly steep ascent akin to taking the stairs of the Empire State building, only with loose, uneven steps and no railing.



Or if you're lazy, a tag with a city or town welcome sign that ends with "BOROUGH"

Here's the bike from the top looking down at the red arrow....

[Burque73]

that's great lurch. I had a hard time finding any grown up monkey bars close enough to the road. The trailhead I'm sure I can get to. Wont be for a couple of days though.

[Burque73]

This is perfect riding weather with high temps in the low 60s. I went up to the trail head that ascends the West side of our Sandia Mountains. Really fun twisty road heading up there.



If acceptable, how about a dam for the next tag. This is part of the flood control spillway in Albuquerque. We get 2 inches of rain in one day, then nada for months. Our kids call this the typewriter dam.







After the dam pic, I grabbed a couple other pics for possible alternate tags just in case the dam proves too hard to get.

[Burque73]

A couple of quick google searches to satisfy my own curiosity revealed that the US alone has more than 75,000 dams. The UK, England and Whales have over 2,300 not all inclusive but still in the thousands.

Canada has hundreds of large dams and thousands of smaller dams.

With numbers like that most anybody has a dam for irrigation, flood control, reservoir, hydroelectric etc nearby?

[gbw]

Here's your dam



Next tag: State Park

[odin1]

No one wander off the dam tour and please take all the dam pictures you want. Now are there any dam questions?

Sorry I couldn't resist.

[Burque73]

Went to what I thought was a state park and it turned out to be a national park. Nice day for riding though so the search continued.

Here's a state park.



Next, a theater. Not for movies, but live shows.

[gbw]

I've gotta get a better camera. Ya'll's pictures look so much better than mine. The S6's camera is probably pretty good but I think the waterproof case I'm using isn't helping any.
