2025 Grand Coddiwomple is underway!

I rode past a very large (about 6' tall) rooster statue today. Way out in the country side. Going to go back and get a picture. Hopefully it'll count.
 
I completed my Coddiwomple target early this year. 1250 points (same as bike displacement) and all below sea level. My original intention was to have it all be from Imperial County, California but I ended up having two of my submissions be from Riverside County. A little patience and hunting would have yielded the two needed but whatever.

Now I can just coddiwomple without the boundaries of the Grand Coddiwomple. Regardless, I'm looking forward to next year's event now.
 
Greetings fellow riders. The Coddiwomple this year has been enjoyable since it has a nice mix of near and far goals, at least where I've been riding this year.

What photo storage platforms have you all found that tend to work the best for uploads and access for the judges? e.g.: Google Photos, Instagram, Flicker, Smugmug, etc.


Thanks in advance - Safe riding!

Save to Google Drive folder. Share and be sure you have enabled the Anyone With Link option. Never an issue for the last four years for me.
 
I have over 20K photos up on SmugMug, it's worked very well for me for over 15 years.

Thank you all for the helpful suggestions. Submitting photos now well underway and counting!

Safe riding and fun adventures to everyone participating!
 
First time Coddiwompling ... Weather this week has been amazing in the Northeast, so played hooky yesterday from work and coddiwompled around the area; now it looks like, I just need to setup my Google Drive in order to share photos on the portal... I think I stopped at 14 Starbuck locations.. within a 10 mile radius..

I'm kinda digging this ride inspired challenge... I've been just taken my time and picking up some rides I wouldn't normally do..

Today was a 225 mile ride to get a picture at the Bethel Woods Woodstock Festival Monument with a stop for some BBQ and 50 more points...

Been a fun Coddiwomple. I am finding the judges to be much more strict this year, and sometimes to make up their own rules beyond what the description of each challenge says .. so while it's disappointing to ride far only to get rejected, for me, this is all about the ride and not the points. So, it's all great.

Thanks BMWMOA for putting this on!
