Cycling Photo Challenge - Entries and Chat

I didn't get to look at that one as they were very cagey with the brochure. When I go in on Friday I will have a look in the book which I hope they will not be so precious about. I understand they are under strict orders by Madison and Genesis on not stealing their thunder, the downside is none of the 2016 models are available until 01/11/2015. This is the only downside at the moment but I will get to ride one at least and decide if it stays on the list.

I cant get excited about building/fettling bikes it's the ride that does it for me.
I was looking at one of my bosses Genesis equilibriums the other day as i have a embryo of a thought to doing another audax next year and thought that may be a possibility as Evans sell it so possible on the CTW.

I need a butler to look after my bikes. I think i will get @User14044 and @vernon to run interviews for me.

The first interview question will be 'are you able to run a household budget in excess of £5million (per week)? Second question 'where is the best place to get pies from? Third question 'can you go and get me some'? Fourth question 'will you pour me another glass of Sauvignon?'

I think that Hilly's priorities might mean changing the order of those questions a little....

Question 1 is good but he would have to lower his expectations. Im not blowing my pension on him and i would just skip to question 4 and add that he needs to keep the gin stock up, something which i have failed to do and had to resort to a glass of Port last night when i got home.

I like Port but Cockburns Special Reserve is strictly for visitors. I had run out of Optima .

You can see why i need help

Everything in moderation

Omnia in moderatione, nisi pies

et Gin

Just seen the weather report for Saturday. Its going to be hot and sunny.

If you visit London with children dont let them drink out of fountains.

Just watched my collegues water their nags in the fountain outside Green Park tube.

Iknow i should have taken a photo but the areas heaving with tourists and their selfie sticks, a pet hate of mine and im on my way into work.

Can't be late for the Queen.

Interesting and relevant article in Bicycling Magazine

Well my research proves otherwise.

Well my research proves otherwise.

@hopless500 always says she won't ride with me if i have been drinking gin as it enhances my athletic performance

What she doesn't say is that my grannys athletic performance would be superior compared to hers after she has drunk 6 pints

On a visit to the Cutty Sark in Greenwich yesterday, took this photograph of a replica of Captain Woodget's bicycle upon which he rode up and down the deck.

The small foot on the right of the photo is not mine. My legs aren't that long.

 

[BigAl68]

A better picture of the possible new bike. Less claret and blue in this one.

Nice looking bike, I'm not jealous.......I suppose that you have to be in work to qualify for the cycle to work scheme

I wouldn't worry about the lack of work thing, @potsy doesn't let the lack of cycle worry him

Cycling Bread Challenge

Bread week on Bake Off and one of the show stoppers was a bread bicycle sculpture. It looked great.
