Not cycling related though I was on the bike when I spotted it on Tuesday morning...


It's the aft tower from the HMS Queen Elizabeth, one of the new aircraft carriers being prepared for moving by sea around Scotland from the Clyde to Rosyth where the carrier is being assembled.

I'll throw in this shot of my old Peugeot as a bike related pic, taken at the same time...

This is what cycling should be like, just a great way of getting around. This is Utrecht in the Netherlands.

An old Diamond Back Topanga with chainstay mounted brakes I found in a local shop. Did some work on it and had it going around by 3:30. Tires, handlebar, cleaning and waxing, lube, a new rear wheel , and a spoke for the front , and we were quite ready to go.

I really like the mood in the panorama.

Edited to fix some weird autocorrect.

Thank You! I truly like the Sony Cybershot G (DSC-H70) for the panorama function. It does all the stitching and exposure compensation in camera, and does an excellent job. Moodiness is pure Mother Nature in Illinois in June. Sometimes gets a good deal more sinister than this, I'll have to look in my archives .

2nd ride of the year from my htc mobil snack break..

My (new to me) old Claud Butler Oracle in it's natural habitat this morning.

Ignore the saddle angle, the clamp bolt turned out to be on it's last legs as it broke when I got home and went to tighten it!

This was taken last weekend on our C2C in a day ride. I had 2 punctures in the first 15 miles! Luckily we only had 1 more in the group after that. Great day and excellent company on my longest ride for about 15 years.

Why is it you can go for miles trouble free and then get 2 punctures in 15 miles! Do you repair them or just put tubes in?

Nice bike

Thanks first ride out today it handles really well and nothing fell off which is always good. Always a bit worried when I have been tinkering with the bike that something will fly off when speeding down hill
