Default Hog ABC's of Touring

I have decided that this year I would enter in the Hog ABC's of Touring.

As per the guidelines, a Post Office is an acceptable building. My question is if I go to a post office that says "Arverne Station, Far Rockaway, NY", do I count that towards A for Arvernce which is the neighborhood name or F for Far Rockaway which is the town?


Thnaks.

Seems to me without looking at the rules that you would get credit only for the "F". But, I've been wrong before (once, back in 1976 after too much doobage).

I would say that if you go to the US Post Office, you would get credit for "B"...for bankrupt.

ABCs are not based on building names. Think about it.

It does say "town" and "city" names, right?


A couple of us were talking about doing that this year, and my wife upped the challenge by saying we should do it ALL in just Missouri....get all 27 in one state.

I went to the post office because every neighbor hood has one. Guidelines say a government building and gave a post office as an example. I live in NYC and we don't have "Towns". We have Cities and Counties. My County has about a dozen Post Office.

HOG ABC works around the World, so the rules are universal. Here in the UK we don't have many cities, but we have a lot of towns and villages, same in Europe. ABC is based on place names, as already clarified.

Getting into the ABC's of Touring. About how many points wins 1st, 2nd or 3rd? I have a chance to ride Jax, FL to California and back... is 100 points a contender?
