Cycling Photo Challenge - Entries and Chat

[PeteXXX]

Quite a few decent entries this time, and some great interpretations, too.

Mentioned in despatches are:
@Tribansman for the Stevenage signs of adventure.
@biggs682 for the Bianchi badge.
@yo vanilla for the much needed Signs of hope.

The competition winner, this time, though is @IrishAl for the 'Rest and be hopeful' photograph.
(Bike needs a bit of a clean, though!! 😂)

🥇

Oh I don't know... I think the mud on the bike is signs of a whole story all by itself Contrats IrishAl!

Pete I thought this challenge was a banger!

 

[Tribansman]

Agree, great competition and congratulations @IrishAl

Thanks for the honourable mention @PeteXXX ! Horrendous neck pain meant I had to bail out at Peterborough 65 miles short on way home

There's always next time...

 

[biggs682]

Well done @IrishAl and thanks @PeteXXX

 

[Oldhippy]

Well done Irish Al.

Any idea what the subject is going to be @IrishAl ?

Sorry folks for the long delay…I honestly thought I had no chance of winning this month given the quality of the other entries 😊. The bike definitely needs a clean, and a lot more besides…dodgy rear hub bearings, missing spoke on the front wheel - there’s loads left so it’ll be grand 😭, and now a rear puncture to fix 🧐

Right, I’ll quickly put my thinking cap on and post shortly with the next theme, and sorry again about my tardiness!

Well done @IrishAl for a competition win!
Waiting patiently for the next one 👍

Okay after a quick think I’ve come up with September’s theme - “Bridge”
interpretation of the theme is of course allowed. Good luck!

Just to get you all going here is a snap from my cycle yesterday - which means I'm in provisional first place in the competition 😀

 

[PeteXXX]

This should be fun 😎

I'm guessing a shot from Saturday is just out of eligibility?

Anyway, I like this one of the Ffestiniog railway.

(Actually, scrub that completely, it's not even my bike so definitely not eligible. As you were)

That’s a shame as it’s a beauty of a bridge.

I agree, but it's the taking part that matters, not the winning. Right?
