    May was our second full month of Forum Bicycle Tag. So far a dozen forumites have participated.
    Everyone is welcome to play–just get on your bike, find a cow and take a picture with it and your bike. Creativity is good if you can’t get out in the country and find a real cow: mural of a cow, cow-themed establishment, etc. (In fact, if you look at it carefully, you will see that the tag picture itself does not feature an actual, real cow)

    Here’s the May recap. Thirteen tags:

    So there’s about a dozen of us enjoying Bicycle Tag, but the thread has gone dormant. It would be more fun if more people joined in I believe, like in Freezing Saddles.
    What’s missing, you ask? Points. And Pointless Prizes. And imaginary competition. And beer. Yes, beer.
    Let’s try instituting some competition and some beer (that should get dkel and Rockford’s attention, at least)

    Time to spice the game up with scoring. Here’s my rather contrived scoring system:
    Points for being It = 5 + (4 – 0.1x) where x = hours since the TAG was posted. Speed counts.
    Respond within an hour and earn 9 points. Respond after 20 hours and earn 7 points. Respond after 39 hours and earn 5.1 points. 40 hours or longer, 5 points.

    Top point scorer each month wins a drink from me (beer at a happy hour or coffee at a coffee club). If I finish first or second then I will buy a drink for the top two finishers.

    Here are the April results:
    Steve O 34.6
    dkel 23.7

    KayakCyndi 15.5
    Amalitza 13.5
    ShawnoftheDread 9.0
    Komorebi 7.0
    Dickie 6.8
    CaseyKane50 5.0

    May results:
    rcannon100 33.6
    Steve O 22.5

    Boomer2U 10.0
    GB 9.0
    chris_s 5.3

    All time standings:
    Steve O 67.1
    rcannon100 33.6
    dkel 23.7
    CaseyKane50 21.9
    KayakCyndi 15.5
    Amalitza 13.5
    Boomer2U 10.0
    GB 9.0
    ShawnoftheDread 9.0
    Komorebi 7.0
    Dickie 6.8
    chris_s 5.3

    Drink prizes are retroactive, so I owe rcannon100 and dkel one drink each and myself two drinks.

    No one has scored in June yet, so the competition is wide open. If you’re out in the country this weekend, get a bike pic with a cow. Or be creative and find another way to take a picture of your bike with a cow.
