@BigRedBoiler – I just saw the tiebreaker option. Fortunately, there’s still tomorrow. I’m WAY down in the standings so I’m unlikely to get to the top…

BUT in the spirit of the game, I might try to get as many as possible tomorrow. That said, is there still a limitation of 3 from any “one place”? And does going on a military base and riding through the various housing areas count as all one place and therefore I’m limited to 3? Or are you talking about something like Union Station’s array of flags with that rule?

@bigredboiler – I’m assuming this is a tiebreaker for people who have found a flag every day.
Or is is a free for all tomorrow for everyone?  (Since I’m the only one who has posted anything for today).

[bigredboiler]

@matteblack – post all pics to your Strava and tell me the # here.  Please post vs holding back in spirit of keeping it fun. I’ll take your biggest day if that makes it more fair.

@alana – I was thinking this would be for daily people plus the couple near daily, but to your point, technically someone way down could jump ahead. I’ll really only look at those who have been playing regularly throughout.

@kbikeva – the base is a technicality I didn’t consider :). I’ll give you 12 from there if you find 4 distinct places within and 3 flags each. Or more places within but 12 total.

@bigredboiler –  even if I were to get 12, I’d only be as far as the leaders are today (except Alan who did a bunch but I don’t know how many). Here in El Paso, it’s been really difficult to find flags. The winds here are so strong that people tend not to put out ‘frou frou’ flags, focusing on US and Texas and the Dallas Cowboys.

So, with that limitation, I’ll just enjoy my ride tomorrow and leave it to Alan to enjoy his win.

I mistakenly went long today (after telling the missus I’d be back in a couple hours — I missed it by 2.5 hours lol) and collected 61 flags in 52 miles. I will *not* be repeating that tomorrow!!!

@bigredboiler – I’ll be uploading them to Strava a little later tonight.

It was a great day to ride for sure — good luck tomorrow, folks! 😃

3/16 – US Postal Service 

[Kbikeva]

@matteblack – 61 flags in 52 miles – yikes. Reaffirms – I’m done. 🙂

[Indiana]

@matteblack congrats on your long ride and 61 flags! This may be it for the competition!

3/16 just one for me – U.S. Army

Not sure what they represent. They’re wasn’t much wind. They could be ornamental

[AlanA]

@matteblack – I was pretty sure someone would get more flags than miles.  Nice job.

That also saves me from taking any more pictures since I can’t win.

@bigredboiler – Thanks for a fun contest.
