how many entries is a person allowed please?
I have a few from my tour that might be OK...

 

[Rickshaw Phil]

I've neglected to put an entry in so far. This one from Monday should rectify that:

Just one of the fabulous views you get when riding the Long Mynd, complete with Doug riding off into the distance.

I'll enter into the fray...

That's me down there....!

I very nearly ended up there accidentally on Tuesday (? memory failing) after a slight navigational error at the bottom of a climb....

That could have been interesting on a hot day with full panniers. Which way were you heading?

I was coming up from Bucknell, and somehow ended up dropping down into Wentnor before continuing the climb up to Rallinghope and Bridges before dropping down into Pontesbury...

Top end of Fuertaventura. I enjoyed the ride, but my husband (in pic) moaned the whole way. Something about it being the longest, bumpiest 18k on the WHOLE planet. I used my usual technique to persuade him he was having fun by taking him to the nearest bar to recuperate.

Just to remind everyone that photos have to be taken after the start of the competition and you must be the photographer

Plenty of time still got a week til the end of the month.

Caerphili some point last week... (spot the 'angel' holding up the tower?)

Brecon's some point this week (perhaps?). 7 miles of downhill on forestry tracks to come. Wonderful fun.

Somewhere in Wales still - taking a break from the climb

Within a mile of home after 400 miles of solo touring and needing a well earned rest. Its downhill all the way, not to mention the shade!

Sunset over the river Avon on the way back to Bath tonight. Bliss

This morning I went for a ride and ended up here (well I set out intending to end up here by this bench!), and although it was hot riding, there was a little bit of shade and a breeze, so that for the first time in ages I almost felt cool!
