Cycling Photo Challenge - Entries and Chat

[TeeShot]

Result time.

This is one of those where I wish there could be joint winners.

For the beauty & stillness of the location, this shot by @Aravis is worthy of being a winner and I can see why the location would be missed

However, the winner by the closest of margins is this picture by @TeeShot - a simple shot of 4 friends enjoying a much missed cafe stop
Over to you for the June challenge @TeeShot and I hope you get to enjoy an ice cream cone with them soon.

Goodness me, that is a surprise. Thank you @Jenkins.
Today is the first time in ten weeks I’ll be allowed out of my front door😋 so I’m going for a ride and will have a think
Will report back later

Apologies for not returning sooner

Well, I went for a ride yesterday. Two observations, I have missed an entire season!! My last ride in mid March was, bib longs, many layers, thick gloves etc.....And secondly my cycling kit has shrunk!!

So the new challenge. Having been stuck indoors for so long it was wonderful to be out in the countryside again, the lanes, the views, the fields full of animals etc....

Your subject (if approved) will be “the countryside”. Any aspect you choose, pretty lanes, big views, rolling fields.
Hopefully broad enough to get plenty of entries
Usual rules. Pictures to be taken within the next month, bike or bike bits in the picture
Results announced on the 1st July
Good luck😋

Well first entry from this morning is this view

My British Eagle Touristique in front of some countryside. I think the toilet seat strapped to the rack might rule this out as a winning entry, even though it has a soft close lid!

Congratulations @TeeShot
I have just stopped on my ride to see what our new challenge is!

Ah, go on then. A couple more for consideration:

At the end of a sportive with a celebratory pint from the bar at the finish line (included in the entry fee as the sponsor was Ludlow Brewery). Definitely missing both of those.

Challenge rides might be back on with unlimited exercise now allowed, but Lake Vyrnwy is still out of bounds as the rules are different the other side of the border.

Vyrnwy is beautiful..

Well, the following of the sun rising over local river this morning probably fits the category.

 

[TeeShot]

Excellent start😋😋
If we get this many every day the result might take quite a while to sort out😂

 

[Katherine]

And another entry from my ride today.

Great choice.
Although I live less than 6 miles from the centre of Glasgow, the countryside starts about 50 yards from my front door.

Up to late for a sunrise picture so across to Sywell reservoir as I love an early morning ride across to it where I can sit and watch the wildlife and take in the view .

 

[Jenkins]

Even a grey & blowy afternoon can be improved by a ride in the countryside, especially when the fields are sprinkled with poppies

 

[EltonFrog]

May I offer for your consideration a field, a stormy cloud, a bike and a Red Kite. (The black dot) .

 

[EltonFrog]

A bit spoilt for choice today but this is my favourite.

Just 200 yards behind where I stood to take this picture are the boundry fences for the Port of Felixstowe
