Cycling Photo Challenge - Entries and Chat

[summerdays]

I was meant to be going for a ride with someone today, but they invented a "lame" excuse to cry off, so I want on my own instead. I started at the Bristol Cenotaph and finished there too:

And it also include my route as an entry to the comp, no pic of a bike in it (yes I was able to work that out myself @potsy ), but I couldn't have done it without the bike

You almost managed to draw a poppy with that ride... Just missing the leaf and stem

What do you mean almost!! I made one mistake and that was going along City Road rather than Ashley Road. I discovered an new stretch of shared pavement 2 meters wide, which I was expecting to have to walk along, and I had to walk one section of one way road but it made a nice kink in the petal! (You didn't comment on the first sentence).

Ps. You have no idea how long I spent pouring over maps trying to find the right shaped roads! And it was 9 miles long!

I wouldn't have made you ride that route, apart from anything it involved going around bits of St James RAB 4 times!

I'd have loved to have seen them, I regret not making the effort to go and see them!, did you take photos for yourself to show how they changed?

Not many, there are so many better pictures on the web.
I remember walking past in august and seeing erect the scaffolding for the weeping window bit, i assumed they were doing some repairs.
Watching it change has been good. It was better in september in my opinion when the poppies look more like blood.

It looked amazing on the arial shots.

The number of poppies makes you think about the multitude of people that died for us.

I feel pretty let down by your avatar Rocky.
I'd always assumed that you were a fat, ugly bástard but...
... you're not fat

Not sure I want to ask!

OK, after my rather trite effort yesterday, I have decided to post some serious stuff.
Photos taken this morning on my Blackberry, in the Merchant Navy War Memorial at Tower Hill. For the fishermen and merchant seamen who lost their lives in both wars and have no grave but the sea. Each boat is listed in order, with each individual name set out below the vessel name. People still post individual poppies against their loved ones name, so many years after their loss.

Did you need a poo?

You've got a funny grimace on your face
