Cycling Photo Challenge - Entries and Chat

Just realised Summerdays has the same bike as me. Apart from mine hasn't looked that clean since I rode it home the first time...

A well deserved win there. So, next theme please? I can see several identical attempts if it's anything we might see between here and Malton on Saturday...

(BTW, I've already decided on my theme, should I ever win...)

 

[Angelfishsolo]

I agree a very deserved win indeed

 

[summerdays]

Err thank you very much... now I have to think... (quick look to see what the weather is going to be .... looks as though it could be OK...)

The only reason the bike was cleanish was that I was cleaning it ... but did a bad job as I managed to get some oil on the disk's ... as I discovered the first time I tried to brake and it did nothing)

OK perhaps a hard one... cycling gear in motion - either the full lycra or the complete opposite the sort of Copenhaganize type of clothes. (Only because I saw someone wearing a Trilby hat who smiled very nicely at me yesterday - I assume the CC men of Bristol don't go around wearing Trilby's when cycling). It can be yourself.

 

[Arch]

Nice idea - plenty of scope on our Saturday ride then! I guess it'll have to be very arty, so as not to just look like a snapshot of people cycling...

I don't have a trilby, so I'll be in Lycra (oh no! a nation cries...)

Not an entry, 'cause it's from last summer, but this sort of thing?

 

[summerdays]

Yes - I don't want them just standing beside the bike ... if possible.

I'm cheatin', cos it's from last September, but this was the Tour of Britain, passing through Morpeth last September, 2 days after severe flooding, and 2 hours before Chazza and Camilla stood in the very same spot, saying "eeer, yurrs, so very sad to see all the water, etc. It's a carbuncle, blah blah etc etc"

As chance would have it, out for a ride yesterday, and i found myself actually on the route of a time trial Not wanting to get in the way, I stopped to take a few photees... here's 2 of them.
The fellas both look like they're veering uncontrollably across the road owing to a sudden death wish, but in fact they are both about to turn right, into a side road.

I failed to get any on the ride on Saturday, and half meant to go and and snap something yesterday, but didn't feel great, so just mooched at home instead. So my entry is actually a sort of anti-entry - it's cycling gear, but not in motion at all...

My two entry's for this Challenge:

The First being a shot taken from the West Midlands Cyclo-Cross League at the Daventry event, and features a Redditch R and P rider named Alan James.

The Second is moi, racing at the Shrewsbury cycling circuit in the Paramount CRC circuit races.

That's two "ironic" entries in one, if you include Mr Ballantine in his natty woolly pully on the front cover of the book. Ballantine is actually doing something though.
