Cycling Photo Challenge - Entries and Chat

[Origamist]

They're supposed to be new photos.

Oh well, never mind

I didn't know the rules, but that's no excuse. I'm going to do the honourable thing and renounce my shortly-held title of CC's action snapper, 2009....

Sh4rkyBloke can choose the next challenge!

No, no Origamist. It matters not a jot. You set it.

 

[grhm]

Plus Sh4rkyBloke's photo probably contravenes the same forgotten 'new photo' rule.

I have one of my eldest too, from when she was first learning to ride

I reckon you still ought to hold the "Action Snapper" title and set the next challenge.

Ooops, only just seen this...

I may indeed have contravened some unwritten law about the newness (or not) of photos for the thread... but mine was taken when my eldest was about 4.5, she's now 5.25... is that recent enough?

But as I didn't actually win (got an honourable mention, by all accounts - thank you) I think it's only right and proper that Origamist choose the next topic.




saves me having to think of something too!!

Something, anything, before Saturday would be good, in case I get a chance on my Saturday ride...

Meanwhile, I've come up with another theme, so I have to win soon...

 

[Origamist]

OK - the theme is "cycling caps". Make of that, what you will...!

 

[summerdays]

Ohh I quite like that ... whether I still do when I try to get a photo remains to be seen...

 

[Auntie Helen]

Does my fluorescent orange hat, modelled here by Lucy Locket, count? I bought it for cycling...

Only if we can see you wearing it

 

[Arch]

right, caps...

I bet no-one turns up on Saturday wearing one!

 

[WindyRob]

any dutch ones?

 

[rich p]

Here's me wearing a Peugeot one with the peak at a rakish angle!

 

[Arch]

A bit contrived, and could have done with longer to pose it, but Soltydog would have been left with no blood in his arm...

The sculture is the "Fisher of Dreams" on th York Selby Bike path, and old railway line - he sits on the bridge over the Ouse, catching a steam train, with his enormous bike lying behind him, and an enormous wire frame dog having a piddle on it.

 

[summerdays]

OK - I did the Bristol's Biggest Bike ride on sunday and saw this one:

Moi - 05:20 Sunday morning - to cap it all - the Solstice...
