Pointless Prize 2022 – License Plates

[bigredboiler]

I would like to sponsor a new pointless prize for 2022. #Plates

Goal: Find & photograph license plates from all 50 States & DC

How to Play
If you’re riding along and you see a license plate from a state you haven’t already photographed:
1. take a photo of it (with or without your bike in the pic)
2. include it in your Strava post with the #Plates hashtag
3. post it to this License Plates Pointless Prize Thread in the Forum as well (this is where I’ll officially track/count entries)

Winner(s) (Prize details to come):

• Main Game Winner will be the person with the most plates (only 1 plate per state + DC will count)
• Tiebreaker: First person to find 51 plates
• Alternate Scoring Winner will be the person with the most unique plates (I will count one of each variant of state plates + one each of special/other plates (e.g. Canadian province, Diplomat, US Gov’t, etc.)

Here is a link to a Google Spreadsheet I will use to keep track of submissions.

Why?????
It’s random to find plates on your ride.
It’s like an Easter Egg hunt (you never know where you’ll find a new one).

More details:
You can include multiple license plates per ride.
Ride safe! It’s easy to get distracted if your staring at license plates….be careful!
I tried this on my own last Spring in DC….took me ~2 weeks to find 48 states+DC (never found WY or ND around DC )

Good luck, keep your eyes peeled, and have fun!!! -Kris
