Honest rule oversight im sure

Hedgetrimmer · « **Reply #40 on:** 25 February 2014, 06:47:42 pm »

Bit pointless really. I thought I'd give this a go this year as it does encourage me to get out on the bike. First, Paul's piss-take and now this. Why?
It's done properly on another forum I use, and is enjoyable for that. I had actually started to look forward to the challenges as, although I don't have a mobile device to post from, and can't get out during working days to do it, I'd still give it a shot.
Poor show folks.

Did'nt mean to take the piss nick $:\$ ...the steam loco was going to be hard at this time of year.just wanted to keep things moving and everyone interested......its a great challenge and did get me out on a wet and windy day........thank you for taking it on, I'll try a bit harder next time .........promise

fazersharp · « **Reply #42 on:** 25 February 2014, 07:01:41 pm »

I did it on the last one with a plane flying over your bike
(held a bosch planer over it)
And in the interest of moving somthing on I think its ok and can give a chuckle
I like your proof of steam for eg

red98 · « **Reply #43 on:** 25 February 2014, 07:23:59 pm »

Come on BBB....come clean or set a new challenge.....iam using the bike tomorrow and need a honest point

Got a good laugh from that, but when it got accepted by the challenge poster, I thought it a bit out of order.
Great to have some banter - real reason I'm annoyed? Cos I'm off tomorrow and want to have a crack at one, even though I'm busy first thing!

I was actually going to do the post box one - found where there was one in Oxford, was going to nip home after work for a bite, then leg it 20 miles up the A40 - damn, beaten to it! But fair and square, so that was ok.

Funny BBB, that looks like Inverary, you live in Glasgow. So, ok I thought, maybe he's got a mobile thingy and happened to be down that way. Then fazersharp points out the flaws, and then I remembered you posted about a ride down there last year. Rumbled pal!

Hedgetrimmer · « **Reply #45 on:** 25 February 2014, 07:44:42 pm »

Rule 1. Nobody is to be caught not drinking!

Quote from: nick crisp on 19 February 2014, 08:41:51 pm

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.

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.

Rule 4. Noooooo pooftahs!

Not everyone can have a crack at a challenge during the week due to work commitments etc, hence rule 3.

And I doubt I'll make this one either $:\$ :

Current challenge: YOUR BIKE NEXT TO AN OCEAN-GOING SHIP

Sharpness on the Severn Paul. Was going to go to Avonmouth to try and get it, but someone said that Sharpness has a lot of container ships going in and out, and as I had to go to Cirencester this morning, it seemed easy to get to.

Hope this boat is big enough fazersharp? It is ocean-going

If accepted, the next challenge is:

YOUR BIKE NEXT TO A RESERVOIR DAM

e.g.:
