Feel free to be creative. You may ‘splain if needed why YOU find it confusing.

Sometimes a little confusing just to see the pictures, throw in traffic, freeway speeds and never before traveled road and it can be overwhelming..... Lol

All you need to know is you can't turn around there. LOL. Just kidding.

Of course. But it’s just a steep hill, not a mountain. First time I’ve done it post achilles surgery though.

Where is that hill?

More importantly, does that mark full recovery?

Woburn, the oddly named Waltham St which turns into Ridge Street.

As far as full recovery? I still have a bit to go, but being able to climb again is really sweet.

Coincidently, a year ago today was my first ride post surgery, but banned from hills or out of the saddle at that time:



And then this weekend:



BTW, when I say be creative on this mission, be creative. Doesn't have to be confusing road signs. Example from a few years ago, when life gives you lemons, make:

Don't know about the clarity of the lemons pic above for others, but on my device it's pretty blurry...had to look at the pic several times, and study it...before I could make out the "perfect for orange juice."

Thank you for the clarification, it's too blurry for me, on my phone anyway.

This sign has been in place for literally 30 years. I remember when they put it in after a rehab of the roadway. Pretty funny if you ask me. I always wondered if you would get out of a ticket if you run the stop sign. Lol.

Next mission: Funny and/or ironic signs. Not necessarily limited to road signs.


Do I stop?

​​​A sign at the entrance of Yellowstone NP a few years ago when we were there said, Do not Feed Or Molest the Bears....
If any of you know someone tough enough to molest a bear, you're circle of friends are way different than mine...... Lmao

LOL. What the. Sometimes you gotta wonder what the department of works in a town is thinking. Or is that the state that would be over that sign? Anyways... Wow, that was a good one. I wasn't sure this mission would happen but that was great!!!!! I'm constantly amazed by this thread.

As a late non-submission for both of the last missions:



North of this sign, ain't sharing nothin'...

I must say having observed motorist behavior north and south of this sign, I cannot discern any difference.

I would really like to see a helicopter! It doesn't matter what kind, and it can be parked or in flight.

"Share the road end" sounds a bit like "pass the roach".

I'm getting in on this one, whether someone gets the jump or not-- it's currently 38º outside, and I could do all the bundling and hit the road now, or I could (and will) wait about 2 hours, because then it will be about 60º. No-brainer.

Helicopters we got.
