For the scary photograph of Tricerafluffytops by @summerdays

Thanks for the entries folks

Ok I'm dithering between yellow and lines.... Both inspired by the TDF (translation for @potsy - some gloves blokes went to France to try and ride their bikes a bit faster than Potsy can) so it's either or both with a bike related theme or bike in the picture! Closing date in about 2 and a bit weeks time ....

Ok after some more dithering (helped by a trip to the pub and a walk)....

First a special mention to @Salty seadog for being the new kid and NOT following the rules (just like the kids in the back row) but showing some interesting "alternative" composition

And to @GM who was the only one to use yellow liquid.... I was expecting more entries!

I liked @Katherine's flowers - a lovely display that seemed summery with yellow car and lines! (Someone taking the comp seriously)

Which brings me to to runner up.....










I loved the shape of the fruit mimicking the wheel, and the distortion of perspective..... A very close silver medal!

Which leaves the Gold Medal going to ........











@Hill Wimp for this lovely photograph of her bike in the yellow corn!! Congrats!

 

[Hill Wimp]

OK are you ready ?

After much thought at 2am in between securing a shrew and a mouse from Henry I have your next challenge should you wish to take it.

Inspired by the great views that many CCers post of their travels and the fact I live on the beach and look out to the sea daily the challenge is.

"The view to the fore or aft." That's ahead or behind for the dim.

So go out there and give me all those lovely views to choose from. Usual rules apply.
1. Must be a bike/part bike in the shot.
2. Feet and Feathers welcome.
3. Closing date Sunday 25th September.

That's all folks

 

[Hill Wimp]

In second place was @Dave123 and his gazillion lumens. Great picture.

Fore ish... Sharing the moment

For and aft. I'm chuffed with this shot, not because of its content but the fact that I took it over my shoulder on a smart phone whilst whizzing downhill.

Wow, thanks everyone, I don't know what to say!!.

I'm well chuffed!

So, I guess I need a theme now.

I am thinking..."Highs and Lows" anything reflecting to your riding high points and of course its low points too. Having both topocs in one image scores extra points.

Closing date 15th October.

Good Luck

 

[Dave 123]

Right then.... the new challenge is

On November 10th 1942 Sir Winston Churchill made this speech

View: https://youtu.be/pdRH5wzCQQw


So the theme is 'beginnings and endings'

Do remember to include a portion of bike.

The closing date is 10th November at 18 minutes to eight in the evening.

 

[Dave 123]

So, it's the beginning of the end, or the end of the beginning or just the end.

In third place is @Rickshaw Phil

In second place is @Katherine

And the winner is @PeteXXX , it brought a smile to my face!

Thank you to all participants!

 

[PeteXXX]

Thank you folks..

I think the theme for the new competition is going to be..

Something tall. The photograph, as usual, needs to contain a bike (or some of it, anyway)

Feet and egrets are welcome.

Closing date shall be 21st November 2016

 

[Hill Wimp]

OK the new challenge subject is quite a wide ranging one.

As we leave one year and enter the next I think it's quite fitting for the title of

"The old and/or the new"

It can be anything from a new view you have found on your ride to a rusty old tool you have found lurking in the back of the shed.Also it can be one or the other or both, whatever takes your fancy.

Usual rules apply. There must be a bike or part of one in the shot and feet, egrets and alcoholic beverages are also welcome additions to the composition.

Closing date is 16th January.

 

[PeteXXX]

I am honoured to win this prestigious competition!
Thanks for the running it and for the topic @Hill Wimp
I thought I'd be beaten by the tram thingy photograph.

Subject to the strict rules of 'must include a bike, or part thereof' being adhered to (obviously, feet and egrets are eligible but ignored in the judging) is something edible on a ride

The end date shall be, for no obvious reason, the 5th of February 2017.

 

[mybike]

And the totally off the wall winner is,

hold on, where did I put it


It's here somewhere

Ah, here it is

{edited to add} Congratulations @PeteXXX

 

[PeteXXX]

Thanks for the topic and the competition @mybike I am loved, honoured and obeyed...
Well done @Katherine and @Dave 123

With this ring, I will set a new challenge!

Something(s) spotty and/or stripy.

Usual rules. Bikes, feet, egrets yada yada yada

End date shall be the 1st of May 2017
