Cycling Photo Challenge - Entries and Chat

[hopless500]

The challenge is bikes and an interesting/amusing road or place name in the same photo. Unfortunately some people round here are incapable of following simple instructions

And taken after the new comp is set. Not that we necessarily do as told

Too late, you've probably won, and then you will have to set the next challenge and maybe read all 870 pages to make sure dont set one that was set before!

hahahahah.

Balls!

I'll need to get up a local hill that the "Passing Place" signs have had the P wiped out...

Lincoln and Exeter you would think are not unusual place names, unless they happen to appear on a Sustrans sign post in the middle of a Leicester park. I wonder how many people ride by and think, mmm shall we go to Lincoln or Exeter today? - Aaaaaaaargh, work blocks me posting the pictures up! Quickly runs off to try on the phone.....................

If my map download ever completes I shall be off in search of a rather dodgy sign

Can we have signs pointing to the toilet? We should be able to. It is a place, isn't it?

2nd thing first...

20 miles and sign found. Pub I intended going to was bloody shut. So I am at another one which has been taken over and ruined but they are at least open.

The sign I hunted down

Having plucked up courage to google it, it seems it is effectively a 15th century typo
To clarify.. it was Slutch Hole and slutch apparently means muddy.....

Dunno what you mean.
