What about the 2022 Grand Coddiwomple?

Just a comment from the peanut gallery, but why does there have to be so many rules? To me, this could be way simpler, which would make it more funner.


fwiw, I never see any posts about this in my social feeds, is there a hashtag?

Hell, there are no rules here - we're trying to accomplish something.

So what are you looking for? Just a meaningless participation trophy? HEY LOOK AT ME, I SUBMITTED A BUNCH OF PHOTOS TO A THING AND I GOT THIS PRETTY PIECE OF PAPER!!!!


Seriously, if there's no rules to be judged by, then what's the purpose of it?? There's no sense of accomplishment. Why even bother?

Isn't that what we get now?

The reward for the Coddiwomple is the riding it encouraged/caused the riders to do and enjoy.

Is this an extension of the Grumpy Old Men thread?

Maybe. Some might even postulate that this is the Grumpy Old Men Forum.

I truly enjoyed both Coddiwomples, in both of them I worked on getting the needed points to finish tied for next to last. (350 points) I am amazed that someone got over 37,000 points, anyone that got more than 350 points should be commended.
To many rules ? Rules are made to be broken, it’s fun to try and bend or break a rule and see if you can get the points.
With the 350 points I got last year to qualify, in a random drawing I won a very nice Arbus Disc Lock. I am looking forward to ground hog day to see what the future holds.
