Nice one. Finally. The funny thing is looks like you even struggled to fine one.
 Let's have a new one then.
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.

I should be prepared for a bit of a wait if I were you, that was his first post in nearly 4 years :lol
So I guess his next challenge would be your bike and something to do with the Paris Olympics

You may as well set another.
I am not so sure if being a sticky actually helps, depends how it is displayed on devices and how people access the site, I think some might just go to the home page and check recent posts but it is not there unless someone has posted in it.

Changing it back to non-sticky is easy enough, but if someone hasn't posted in it recently, it wouldn't appear either way.

Personally I just go to https://foc-u.co.uk/index.php?action=forum and click on the Forums with new posts and look for topics with the NEW tag that are of interest to me.

I don't know how it works for other people...

Has nobody been out on their bikes recently? Or has there just been no ponds, canals or swimming pools nearby? ;)

I was on my phone looking and did not notice your new post. But did notice on my tablet. On the desktop it is very noticeable.
 As most people look ( I assume), on a phone then I think being a sticky could be less visible than a topic that can be bumped to the top of the general section.
I don't think the challenge is ever that popular and only a core few people seems to take part. Maybe most use their bikes to commute and that doesn't fit well with the challenges.
On the other hand I am sitting here writing this when I could be out doing the challenge

Ok, I've removed the Sticky setting on this thread.

I only ever read the Forums on my PC, so let me know if that makes it more visible for phone users.

I exclusively access this site from a mobile, I've never even seen the "real" page haha
And I can confirm confirm providing people post on the topic then it returns to the top each time which makes it much easier to see/notice 👍🏻
The stickies have their own sub section at the very tip which is easy to ignore

As for the challenge, I'll be getting my bike out tomorrow so if nobody manages it today then I'll get it done 🤞

Finally got time to get out, so here's my bike next to the entrance to Uppark House on the B2146 :thumbup

So, for your next challenge...

Your bike next to an emergency services vehicle (preferably not one that's just pulled you over! ;) )
