Death Valley anyone?

Yes, absolutely.

The challenge is a picture of your bike, anytime in 2023, showing it at it's highest elevation. Note the location and elevation on the entry. Might I respectfully suggest a slight change to the rules in this instance to make the highest elevation the winner rather than the first entry?

As we don't have large mountains in Ireland I could never win but here is my entry, 1640 ft, near Sally Gap, Co Wicklow, Ireland.

So there would be two slight changes to the rules in this case? 1. that the pic doesn't need to be taken after the challenge is made and 2. that the winner be the one that can verify highest elevation? Those changes are OK with me for one month, especially if it generates more participation on this thread for the coming year.

Back of the Dragon. Roughly 3400 ft at the BotD Overlook.

Shady Valley, TN. I think the store is at 2700 ft, but a mile or less up the road on US421(The Snake) it’s 3967 ft. No place to turn off for a pic at the peak, though.

You can probably go lower, Gone.

Yeah, that spot is uphill from home. I’m surprised it isn’t higher, but I checked it on Google Earth.

That was cruel, Gone. How can a bloke compete with that?

My highest elevation this year with the CB1100 was Agnel pass, between Italy and France : 9003 ft (2744 m). It is the 2nd highest pass in french Alps. We were returning from Italy after a 3 days trip around Cuneo and Piemont winyards (Barolo, La Morra).

The same day, before returning to France through Agnel pass, we went to an other nice place: Colle di Sampeyre, not so high, but with a funny monument at the top of the road:

Love that first pic. 9,000 feet is pretty high.
