Cycling Photo Challenge - Entries and Chat

[hopless500]

2 days left for you all to send in your last minute entries.

Typically the weather on Thursday, my day of deliberation, will be kack but warm and if the crossing is rough i will delegate the task to @hopless500 as i may be resting and unable to see straight.

I may be drinking and unable to see straight...

I've always thought of you as a bit of an old pro

Summer wildlife

If you look they're just hatching, I almost walked on them when I climbed out of the river!

Summer in Manchester

Frollocking with your dogs

Having a nice steady ride down the canal

Quite an approporiately named barge

Not to mention doing a spot of bird watching

And last but not least, showing off those stumpy white legs

 

[djb1971]

Nice legs, shame about the .........


I'll leave it there, you've heard the song

A quick paddle then lunch by the river

@SatNavSaysStraightOn this is how you get lost. No trail, garmin with no signal. Do you follow the river or head to the mountains?

Sleeping under the stars.


I'll be sleeping here this week. Tomsleibhe bothy.

It's just at the foot of the mountain.

I knew you would all get a last minute wiggle on.

I have 3 train journeys tomorrow so i will narrow the field down.

I think Shaun needs to allow us to create bins folders for us to put the pictures in for judging purposes.

Nice to see you out Potsy, bet you had a nice ride. Personally i think the fact that even @The Velvet Curtain can manage to get out on his bike in the last couple of days may have shamed you into it

 

[Hill Wimp]

He is up there.

@summerdays promised a vintage bike in a cherry orchard

 

[summerdays]

Opps ops I forgot .... The bike I was thinking about was gone and I didn't want to ask where since it had been mine and they might of expected me to take it away. But whilst picking cherries I spotted another.

Can you spot it in the background?

Summer cycling is

Black clouds, showers, puddles, sunshine, fun for all ages, cycling on closed roads (even The Mancunian Way which is a motorway) and coming second in the 26 miles (by gender and age!) in The Great Manchester Cycle.


After my ride, I enjoyed watching the start of the 13 miles ride, great to see so many children on their own bikes.

Summer means glorious weather on the commute.........

..... and thinking "isn't the warehouse lovely and cool this morning" rather than "it's bloody freezing in here again".

I've posted this somewhere else on here before, so it won't be a winner, but this is summer cycling for me.

'Faster! Go faster! When are we stopping for an ice-cream?'

(That's the commentary I get from the back, not my end of the dialogue. I'd be lucky to get a word in edgeways).

Summer. Time to play outside and spend time with the grandchildren.

I'd have taken a map, you know those paper thingumajigs...
