2014 FOC-U Bike Picture Challenge
« on: 19 February 2014, 08:41:51 pm »
Ok folks, the new thread for 2014.

A reiteration of the rules.

1. All challenges must be of YOUR bike and a landmark, or something obscure or creative, something most people can ride to in their area.

2. Picture has to be taken after challenge is made.

3. Challenge is good for a week; if it is not met after that time, the previous picture poster picks a new challenge.

4. Nothing illegal to be challenged.

5. Keep comments to a minimum; if you comment, post the current challenge in bold type after your comment.

6. No repeat challenges.

7. No other bikes can be used, eg, your bike next to a Ducati. Some exceptions will be allowed, eg, your bike next to a bike cop.

8. Only 1 person can win each challenge; any other entrants will not be counted, due to throwing the whole game off track and adding challenges that don't stand.

9. If any dispute about a challenge occurs, 3 oks from others settles the challenge.


Remember, this thread is supposed to get people to want to go ride straight away and beat others to the challenge - be creative, but be sensible about it.



Right, I'll set the first one to save any faffing around.

YOUR BIKE NEXT TO A FLOODED FIELD.

Current Challenge: YOUR BIKE NEXT TO A FLOODED FIELD.

I would think the scores will be carrying over, just a fresh thread with clearer rules?

Good luck getting your bike next to a non flooded field at the moment!

Highlight the text you want bold and then click the B
in the square above the text box.

Or Click the B before you start to type

It will be OK in the end. If it's not OK, it's not the end.

Damn, just rode 30 miles to Didcot, to the steam railway centre (never been there before) in hope. But can't get sight of one unless you actually go into the centre itself.  :\
