Cycling Photo Challenge - Entries and Chat

[rich p]

That's nice Rich - why did you not post it when the comp was running full blast...as in no entries at all?

And. What is all that shadow stuff going on? Does it mean sun down your way (© Franklyn Englemann)?

The sun always shines in the sunny south............

...out of my arse!

Franklin followed by Brian Johnstone - I remember being bored by it as a kid.

Ha! Yes me too - although I would happily listen to the lot now. Boredom only set in 'hard core' when two, sometimes three way family favourites came on when eating Sunday dinner. "RAF Akrotiri" - lodged on the ledge of memory...

Here is mine in Thetford

Is it a pig?

 

[Aperitif]

Obviously a Cartier 'Tank'... but that was the last challenge btfb!
And it can't be a Challenger... Armoured Karma maybe..?

 

[Amanda P]

Ladies and gentlemen:

Neither is quite the composition I wanted, as the nice lady who handles the pigs wasn't there and I didn't want to mess with them in her absence. However, I think you can see that my bike, the pigs, and I were all present in the same place at the same time this afternoon.

Do I win? Do I?

You are disquealified for trying to draw a picture of your bike on their backs...

 

[longers]

Oink Oink! That's squeally good .

Winner.

Gorgeous bike as well.

 

[Amanda P]

OK then, continuing the livestock theme. Let's see a picture of your bike, you (you can turn your back if you want to preserve your anonimity/dignity/show us your finely toned buttocks/whatever), and... a goose.

I've introduced the "you" element not because I want to see your faces but because it will introduce a social element: you'll either have to take a friend to take the picture, or collar a passer-by to do it. If you don't have any friends and your geese are all in vast, empty wastelands where passers-by don't occur, you can use a self-timer but I think you can see what I'm on about here.

Any species of goose will do. There are lots about at the moment. They will often pose if bribed with bread. Ducks and other non-goose waterfowl do not count.

As usual, too late but this is my Scott with a rasher of Serrano ham draped over the top tube!

 

[rich p]

I've just asked Mrs rich p if she'd mind having a picture of us with the bike while I'm goosing her but she politely declined.
Back to the drawing board.

What do you expect? You've already had a portion on the top tube!

I like your ham photo richp

On my way home from work I went out of my way to go round this reservoir, a known hang out for geese.

None at all . I got a good ride out in the sunshine though .

I think they'd all gone here instead. This photo only shows about a third of them that were there.

I go past here every day on my commute and last weekend someone was feeding them and it was mayhem, you wouldn't want to get caught up in the middle of that!

I did feel a bit daft asking for me the bike and the geese in shot but the bloke was genuinely interested in these challenges and really liked the idea.

And looking at that photo - it's time to get a haircut!

 

[rich p]

Can't argue with that Longers. Got to be a winner!

Not a goose in sight today in the Sussex countryside

 

[Amanda P]

Got to be a winner!

Agreed. Couldn't you have done it any quicker, though?

Extra points for the CycleChat jersey, and for having had to get a bystander to take the shot...
