re-check.

same.

You
must visit two cities with "North Pole", Santa Claus", "Christmas",
"Snow", "Rudolph" or "Holly" as part of the name. Get a DBR with the

motorcycle of a sign containing the city name and obtain a DBR within
30 miles.
You may start and end your ride anywhere you choose.
Each photo must be at least 150 ridden miles apart.
