The mission

How to validate After Rain Roads

  1. What is the objective?

    Find a visibly wet or shiny road surface after rain during the ride.

  2. Proof

    Submit one photo. A low but safe angle can reveal shine, although the whole image must remain clear enough for validation.

  3. Completion rule

    Make the surface condition easy to see and include the bike or cycling gear without obscuring the reflective area.

    Photo must show wet or shiny road surface after rain with bike or cycling gear visible.

The context

Why try this quest?

Rain can flatten colour, then leave highlights and reflections behind. This challenge focuses on that after-rain texture while keeping the proof tied to cycling.

Practical tips

  • Look for reflected sky or lamps that define the wet surface.
  • Position the bicycle outside the strongest reflection so both remain distinct.
  • Protect the lens from droplets and check it before shooting.

Questions about this quest

Must rain be falling in the photo?
No. The rule is specifically about a wet or shiny road surface after rain.
Can cycling gear replace the bicycle in the proof?
Yes. The source rule accepts a bike or cycling gear alongside the wet-road subject.
