Cycling Photo Challenge - Entries and Chat

[Hill Wimp]

@Hill Wimp & @hopless500 I used to ride in saddles and flip flops until the day I snapped my little toe and dislocated it. Since then I can't bring myself to do it. Saying that you both don't seem to be doing much cycling so fair play.

nearly 60 miles in 30 odd degrees and a fully laden touring bike over 2 days is not much cyling ????



TBF 60 is a nice mileage at home on my roadie.

Even I'd be embarrassed by that low mileage on a cycling tour

See what i did there with a red sweet wrapper

My first thought when I saw the top photo, was that you did a detour to an Amsterdam coffee shop

Bloody hammering down agsin so stuck with another and then the train home. Alternatively I could ride, fall off, get wetter feet and possibly die. #firstworldproblems View attachment 95045

Hmm I think you are slightly exaggerating the amount of rain that's fallen still it's a good excuse and you have ridden further than me (Or the rain fairy took pity on me and is saving it for tomorrow instead)

Rain and cycling deserves cider.

I was out before dawn for an hour, again at 8am and got caught up with the ride Bath sportive and then went to Bristol in the rain. I believe I deserved the three pints. Home now in clean and dry clothes post shower.

Hence the not much cycling getting being done comment. You are doing the sort of tour I enjoy. Cycle, drink, food, B&B.

Breakfast

Who's that strange looking woman that keeps photo bombing Wimpy's pics?

Is it a bit like the old bloke that appears in lots of Rocky's entries?

Lunch after my ride (none of your Dutch poncy stuff)

Not a Melton Mowbray one I see, using cured pork & with little jelly.

Who gives a toss - it cost £1

So it's cheap and nasty in preference to quality.
