Cycling Photo Challenge - Entries and Chat

[Scoosh]

I was more worried about my cleats getting full of mud or I would have got closer.

As we say in these parts ... Aye, Right !

Just been out and braved the icy roads for a short ride and couldn't find any of the things I was looking for,of which there are normally loads.
So. My offering is

our very exciting wood pile. Been here 11 yrs and never yet had to buy any wood for our burner

I set off looking for a hill with a view of some windmills, but although I saw them, they don't show up in the photos as it's a bit hazy. However through a hedge I saw a farm with solar panels ( look through the hedge it is there!). When I tried to get closer the guard dogs were vocal enough for me not to stop! Later on I came across a house with solar panels. The people of Kearsley and Whitefield must have wondered about the mad cyclist taking pictures of their farms and houses! Never been that way before but it was a nice route and I'll definitely go that way again.

I've deleted the duplicates for you!

Looks like you had a nicer day than here in the South (it was grey in Reading and misty/foggy for much of the journey).

Thanks for that.
Yes it was very misty first thing, then the sun came out at about 11 o'clock. I set off at half 11when the temperature had risen to 3.5degrees!

Is Katherine trying to steal Rocky's rightful place at the bottom?

No idea yet what my entry will be, there are a severe lack of opportunities around here for windmills and wind farms

Here is my not very good debut entry, apologies for the lack of feet.

I'm spuriously claiming the Tyne as a source of hydro-electric energy because it's made of water.

And if that doesn't count then I'll say the moon because it creates tides which I'm sure contribute to hydro somehow.

Or you could snap some branches off those bushes to burn, which will grow back.

Actually, that's three different types of energy I've included, which must mean my picture is three times more likely to win!

Bike is my new steed as I rode it back from Evans last night.

It's nice to have a new kid in the playground we can pick on play with

Play with actually sounds worse than pick on now I've read it through

Glad I am not judging this one. I am however out drinking so probably will post drunken shots later

Thanks!

This is one of my favourite threads, the crap really good photo's are interesting, I enjoy seeing what footwear Rocky is wearing and spotting the obligatory heron in each picture.

Have you found the one in mine yet by the way?

Think you'll find it's a crow in your pic, not a heron!

Here's one from my walk yesterday. It meets all the criteria (for a change)

....a very grey day in Oxford.

WOW!

You've upped your game Rocky, pity you've used someone else's bike

 

[djb1971]

How do you know that it was someone else's bike? I might have put it on the deck myself.....the boat's owner might have stolen it









(You are right of course......it wasn't my bike )

I know you'd never just slap your bike on its side like that, you love your bike way too much

I think now Katherine has come along and lowered the standard, rocky feels he has a chance again
