points. You will then earn a Grand Tour
shirt and entry into first level of prizes.
3) Riders with 50 or more points will get the shirt and
entry into the first and second place level of prizes.
4) Rider with the most number of points wins the grand

5) Points are awarded as follows:
a) Each State Park visited - 1 point each. Maximum 10 per state. See Rule 16 for exceptions.
b) Alaskan State Parks - 2 points each.
c) # of states visited - 1 point each after 3 total. Ex: 4 states – 1 points, 5 states – 2 points,

Funniest one earns a special Dyslexia mystery prize. Include a caption to the photo. I’ll post these in the forum to be voted on. Bike and towel must be included in the photo. Ex: Radiator shop has a sign out front.
“We’ll fix your leeks” Now, who has had problems with dripping onions?
6) ONLY state park signs accepted. NOT state wildlife reserve, fish hatchery, recreational
area, fish and wildlife area etc… STATE PARK only. See Rule 16 for any exceptions.
7) Three things MUST be in the photo. 1. YOUR rally towel. 2. YOUR bike.
3. The state park sign. Everything
must be CLEARLY readable in the photo.
8) Signs with arrows pointing the direction of the park,
miles to the park are not accepted. I
want the sign that greets you when you drive into the park.
9) ALL photos
submitted must be mailed to: Mark Boettcher
10) Your numbered
rally towel may only be used by you. No
one other than you may possess your towel. If you find someone else’s towel at a
location, LEAVE IT THERE. The owner will
most likely be back for it.
11) Same named
State Parks are accepted from different states. I can tell them apart by the DNR logo on the
sign. If there is no way for me to tell
they are from different states; the duplicates will NOT be accepted. It’s your responsibility to make sure I can
tell them apart.
12) If you are at
a park and the sign is down for repairs, or damaged beyond recognition; you may
take a picture from inside the park or ranger station with a legible sign
stating what park you are in. An
explanation must be attached explaining why you did this. Include the date you were there. I can audit this by emailing or calling the
park to verify your explanation.
13) If you lose
your towel, send in your current photos and $10.00 for another towel. I won’t ship out your new towel until these
items are received. Any photos sent in
with the old towel # after this won’t be accepted. If you find your old towel later, DON’T USE
IT! Only photos with the new # will be
accepted. Lose your towel twice? You’re a dumb ass, a 3rd towel won’t be sent
based on principle.
14) Solo riders -
$25.00 each. 2-up - $40.00 per couple.
15) 2-up entries
will have 2 towels. Both towels must be
in the photos, and at least one of the riders. The photo must be taken by one of the riders
unless both riders are in the photo. Bike
and sign must be included like the solo riders too. Rider and passenger MUST be together at all
parks claimed.
16) EXCEPTIONS TO
RULE 5A AND 6.
UNLESS NOTED BELOW; ALL OTHER STATES HAVE A MAXIUM OF
10 STATE PARKS TO VISIT.
17) If you have
children that want to be a part of this tour, but they are unable to make to
all of them, that is okay. Try to visit
as many as you can, include them (the child) in the photo. When you send in your photos, include another
$10 for a shirt (include size) for your child. They need something to remember these rides
too, and it promotes quality time together. All adult riders will still need to meet the
minimum 25 points to qualify for a shirt or prize.
