Here's one of my lad (7 years old) on the trails at Lee Quarry ...

OK ... I've thought about it a bit... could of picked several of those ... a special mention for Alan H ... who made an effort to produce an alternative photo ...

but I decided after a bit of umming and arhing ... (it could of been one of several ... as they all illustrated participation very nicely) ... that the WINNER is..... Fossyant...! (the darlek swung it)

I thought the one of cubby's lad was really good, I think it was the matching sky and gloves that did it!

All good pics tho'

I did have a hard time choosing and trying to decide how to justify my answer... like I said I liked them all .... even the first entry!!!

Well done, Fossyant. New challenge, please.

Whoop !

OKay then... Your bike in an unusual location - exotic/stunning/weird and if there is a small story behind it getting there, the better.

It has to be ridden there though !

Closing date Sunday 10th July - gives you 3 weeks - taking into account some of you may be off on hols with bikes - get the pics in.

Yesterday, crossing the Exe Estuary at Topsham.

I suddenly remembered this thread today, and this photo, so I have to say hand on heart, I didn't take it specifically for the comp. (Well, I didn't take it, I'm in it!)

Also, the clause about riding there. I rode 50 miles to Scotch Corner, where my friend picked me up. It was supposed to be 78 miles to Tan Hill, but I wasn't feeling up to it. So we drove up there to meet the rest of the group, and that's where the pic was taken, in the Tan Hill Inn carpark (Highest pub in England). Needless to say, I didn't actually ride into that exact position...



It's funny though?

My bike in front of a Pineapple!

This is one of my favourite cycles - on this day I was out on my own, as usual, and took along lunch and a book to sit in the sun. This lovely wee girl game up and pestered me non stop, so I ended up teaching her how to make daisy chains. Not quite the peace and quiet I was after, but nice to pass on a technique!

Ah, but did you ride it out of the boot? And is there a *video* of that?!

Follow up to my photo: when that lot got to the other side, they tried to bribe the ferryman to leave us stranded. His wife wouldn't tell us how much they offered, but said it wasn't enough

Sadly no on both counts. With ramps though, it might be doable, although I might just end up cracking my head on the bootlid...
