Cycling Photo Challenge - Entries and Chat

[HLaB]

I could have took tons of photos of bridges today as I went along the River Earn, here's two of them:
Kinkell Bridge in Perthshire


And Bridge Street in Comrie,

Fantastic views

Ok .. finally getting around to uploading these ones which were taken on one of my way to and from work one day.....











sunny one on my way home....

Do the undersides of bridges count ... as it seemed to be more me going under them than over.....?

 

[coffeejo]

I love the last one

My effort (not very good, will try again):




Edit: that was taken this afternoon when I took the dog for a run round the lanes and then through the woods at the edge of the local Common. Bike and I were on the bridge, she was going bonkers in the stream behind me

Alan, does this one really finish on June 6th?

Everything's negotiable, Rich. Why? Too long? Too short?

Now he's put his sorry-arsed snaps high quality photgraphic images on he thinks it's all over for everyone else!

It is a long time, was it to allow for more entries? There's actually been quite a few this turn.

 

[Haitch]

I gave it three and a bit weeks to see if there would be more entries. What's the usual time limit? I came to this thread late so perhaps I misjudged it. Arch promised a Bridges of York photo splash, should we wait till her pictures come back from the developers or is the general consensus that this challenge has run its course?

I thought perhaps it was a bit long Alan but I'm relaxed! It's up to you.

Arch, get your arse in gear so we can have a new challenge girl!

*wonders if there'll be time to get some better snaps before Arch posts hers*

It only takes one-thousandth of a second to take a photo.

 

[coffeejo]

Yes, but the planning and preparation are the time [can't think of word ... users? not wasters. Um...]

Would you believe, I haven't cycled over a bridge since the challenge was set. Or had my camera with me.

Can I have this weekend? I'm off camping on the trike, and there will be a bridge or two.

 

[Haitch]

Can I have this weekend?

OK. I'll bring the closing date forward to the morning of Tuesday 31 May unless anyone objects. I've given benb a nudge as well as he'd said he would submit a photo.

A couple taken yesterday.

This one is at the Kingswood Junction where the Grand Union Canal and the Stratford Upon Avon Canal meet.

The next one was taken just around the corner on the Stratford Canal.

Changing the topic slightly, I saw a bunch of runners running the other way down the canal with race numbers on their shirts, saying GUCR. When I got home I looked this up and found it was a running race, 145 miles from Birmingham to London along the Grand Union Canal. They aren't allowed to stop for more than 40 minutes otherwise they are deemed to have retired.

That sounds like a real event!
