Alright, how about the view from your bike atop a mountain (say 1000+ feet?)
Double checking list of previous challenges now...

Difficult to come up with a do-able challenge that requires actual riding without making it impossible for some people. If nobody wants to do it I can try thinking up another.

How about just adjusting the challenge somewhat like...
the view from your bike atop a hill ?
Your choice of course.

I figured someone from a mountainous region would step in and call my 1000' suggestion a hill lol. But yeah, since that doesn't seem to be the case, let's go for...the view from your bike atop the best hill you can find.

Sounds reasonable, thanks.

O/T....

What this mean ?

"7) Cages may be used unstead of our bikes If and ONLY IF there is snow. This allows us riders in the North to continue playing the game. (PS... this is for everyone else that rides all year long )"

every challenge is impossible for someone, they will just need to sit that one out. it's only when it is impossible for 95% to get it that it becomes a problem. isnt the idea to make it challenging though? 1000 feet up is very doable for most, i think. technically, my house sits at 1200, so a picture from the driveway would be good. but in the spirit of the challenge, i'll go up higher to get it.

just my $.02

Unless your house is ontop of a 1200' mountain range, I think he meant 1000' drop off, not mear elevation relative to sea level.
