Rules
This is a Spotwalla Required ride.
Photos are required.
The ride must be at least 1,000 miles* and must be completed in less
than 24 hours.
You
must start at any listed location. A photo of your DBR along with
your odometer is
required at the beginning and ending locations.**
You must visit the center location a minimum of three times.
*It may not be possible to obtain the required 1,000 miles by riding to
all four corners, passing through the center between each, and ending
in a listed location corner. In that event, extend the ride by
continuing on in the X shaped pattern until the required mileage is
reached. Obtain a DBR at your ending location. You are not
required to end the ride at one of the listed locations, however
you
are required to ride in the X pattern for greater than 1,000 miles
**A DBR photo in front of your odometer is the preferred method of
documenting your start and end, however it may not be possible to find
a business or ATM at the time you are at that location. In that event
take a photo of your bike in front of the location's post office,
police station or municipal building. Welcome to and city limits signs
are
also acceptable means of proof. Then, get a DBR at the next
convenient location within 50 miles.
You
should not leave Massachusetts except for safety reasons or to take a
required photo but if you do so, you MUST re-enter Massachusetts at the same
point you left it. Those miles ridden outside Massachusetts are not credited
toward the miles for this ride.

may take any route you like but remember you must visit each of the
listed corner locations and you must visit the center location in
between each corner for a total of at least 3 times. You must document
