Cycling Photo Challenge - Entries and Chat

[IDMark2]

May I be so bold as to join in this one?
Only because I have this shot on file which is clearly taken just in front of the Exeter Chiefs rugby stadium, about 4km in front. (If you follow vertically from the stem on the bike, it's the first whiteish thing you come to).... Oh, the remains of my campfire are just in front of the bench too. Camping is a pastime right?

Thank you. It only links to page 1?

Yup. Where would you have it link to? Folks can always click on the 'go to first unread'.

If you think it should link to the post where the challenge is set - there are now over 10 more pages of waffle since you set it, and by the time the competition ends there will be many more.

I could add a link on my post 2 to your actual post, if you think that might be helpful?

Can I say, welcome to the madhouse, and you have obviously sussed out the way that entries to this competition relate to the set challenge...

As a new user it was handy for me, I found the current challenge quite easily... Haven't joined in before as it was always hard to find what the heck was going on (especially with Rocky's interpretations, although my effort may be in the same vein...). Now still enjoying the waffle but it's easy to find the subject separately.

I ended up quoting @Katherine 's post into the thread, I hope that was the right thing to do?

To what are you referring? Is there some lack of clarity? Should I buy a better camera do you think, or just get ever so slightly closer to my subject?

Perfect

That was what I thought I'd done, but I obviously got distracted part way through. Thanks for sorting it out.

Apologies @Katherine - your query now makes perfect sense!

So for the moment, the first post in the sticky will be the link to the beginning of this thread
Then a copy of a challenge post
Then (if folks think it is a good idea) the winning entry for that challenge, followed by the new challenge, etc. All these are copies of posts from this thread, so anyone who doesn't want to have the faff of two separate threads can just look in this one.

It all depends on the bicycle. My new(to me) mtb makes me look short, as its a 29er,
