I really like the tangible 'thing' too! I bunch of mini-tours, then hopping (via mail) to another portion, like the TDF team buses do And the best part would be take a pic with said thing on your bike with you and the next rider! I know there are programs that will put them all together like a giant poster. Surely, flickr or something like that has it! We could all upload our pics to a site like that.

I LOVE this idea. I'm in, in any case!
