92 COUNTIES CHALLENGE RULES The 92 COUNTIES CHALLENGE is to get an individual member, not a chapter, to tour as many counties as possible in Indiana between April 1 and October 31, 2018. The person needs to verify their presence at the POINTS OF INTEREST by keeping a photo of them or their bike/car at the designated location. The photos will only be requested for verification from the two winners at the end of the contest. A couple can participate as individuals, each with their own sheet. The POINTS OF INTEREST form is provided with a column on the left side for riders to keep record of the date they were at the destination. A $100 prize will be given to one individual who completes the challenge or who visits the most locations. In case of a tie in the most locations visited, a drawing will be conducted to choose the one winner of the $100. A second place prize of $25 will be given to an individual who is in a drawing of all the riders who visited a minimum of sixty of the designated locations. The person who has 60 or more sites and was declared the winner, will not be eligible for the second-place drawing. The POINTS OF INTEREST are locations in each county to give the rider a destination. The address for many of the POINTS is provided while the rider will have to do some research to develop an exact route to others. The rider does not have to go into a location, purchase admission ticket, eat there, or do anything other than actually visit the location. We encourage riders to take advantage of the fact they are visiting some interesting locations but being at the location is the only factor considered in this challenge. Photos and verification of location visits will only have to be submitted by the winner of the $100 and the second place winner of the $25 to verify they were actually eligible to be declared winners. In order to determine who should be included in consideration for first place and included in the drawing, riders can scan their filled out POINTS OF INTEREST sheets, with dates they visited filled in, to mocpath@comcast.net OR they can mail the forms to Lonny Hunter, 1123 E 650 S, Markleville, IN 46056. For questions regarding the challenge, feel free to call or contact: Lonny Hunter 765-425-5213 mocpath@comcast.net

The Rider Ed page opens. Click on My R.E. Information tab on the left side of the page. You are now ready to sign in. If this is your first time, you might be clueless on logging in.

Scrolling down just a little further brings you to Training Courses and History. Levels required training is displayed with the type of training and expiration date. Yellow highlighting means it s close to expiring and red means it s expired. Contact us if you are close to expiring so you can try to find a class to renew your certification.
