Clarification on Rules -

Arizona has 0 cities/towns/village which start with the letter "R".
However, there are several "census-designated place (CDP)" which start with "R".
Does a CDP qualify as a "Place"? It is recognized by a government authority, in this case the Census Bureau.

Example -

From my 2004 Rand McNally:

- Red Rock
- Rillito
- Rimrock
- Rio Rico
- Rio Verde
- Rock Pt.
- Rough Rock
- Round Rock

I don't know the rule specifics, though.

All it takes is a place with a sign.

Yep, but all of those are Census Designated Places, not city, town or village.

Ah, but the rule defines "place" as city, town or village.

Sounds like time to move!

North Dakota had an “R” and it had Fargo

If I needed an R in Arizona, I would go for Rio Rico - Has a Post Office with the city and state labeled on the outside of the building.

I would not use Wikipedia as my reference for this.

I'd use the World Population Review

All,
I have to reduce my involvement with the 2022 Coddiwomple to about zero due to Springfield Rally commitments. So, I won't be a good source for answers to questions posted here. I don't know if anyone else from the Coddiwomple team will be monitoring this thread or not. Even if they are, your best bet is to send your questions to coddiwomple@bmwmoa.org, and then post the answers here for other's benefit if you like. Thanks.

Do Coddiwomplers need to be on a BMW motorcycle, or will any make due? Last year I know any make was ok.
Thanks!

This is the page for rules:

The word "motorcycle" is mentioned a number of times but no where does it say BMW motorcycle. It says "your motorcycle". I think you're good to go!!

That was true last year. Greg was pretty clear there was a lot they were making up as they went along. The rules even stated not to over think what constituted a place. As long as it was not a private business but had some sort of official designation it would be accepted.

This year's rules seem to be pretty specific about defining a Place, a Site and a Park. The WANDER FARTHER challenge specifies you need a place name as defined in rule 4. So it would seem it needs to be "a city, town, or village recognized as such by a State, Provincial, or other government authority."

I take it to mean that a census designated place would meet the criteria of rule 4.
