Right, here it is for 2015. As mentioned, I'm not going to be scoring this year, so someone needs to pick it up. I suggest dazza sets the first challenge, as he won the last round.

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.

Have fun Foccers!

10. No ex-pats who don't read the rules and jump in before the double champion gets chance to set the first challenge. (Yes, this means you lew)

OK, Don't worry Lew, you'll get your chance. FIRST CHALLENGE....YOUR BIKE ON A ROAD AND RAILWAY BRIDGE

week off, sun's out, time for a little blast over to The Island (sheppey).

Next challenge, seeing as we all like beer and these seem all the rage at the mo. Your bike outside a MICRO PUB.

Micro pub or do you mean micro brewery

HarryHornby · « **Reply #6 on:** 15 April 2015, 01:37:00 pm »

micro pub :-)

If you've not been to one and you like ale and cider you should look out for your nearest one. :-)

Sussex Foccers - the smallest pub in England is in Bury St Edmunds - The Nutshell. About as micro as you can get!

The idea folks is not that you just sit and point out to each other where things are. You get on your bike, quick as you can, ride to the subject, take a snap, get home and post it up. It's a competition, supposed to get you out on your bikes. I have just Googled for micro pubs in Oxfordshire and, alas, couldn't find any $:\$

HarryHornby · « **Reply #16 on:** 21 April 2015, 06:46:30 am »

OK, no takers on the pub, so sticking with the beer theme.

YOUR BIKE AT A BREWERY
