Well, that's a week. Garden gnomes must all be in hibernation or something. Try another challenge risticuss.

Okey doke...

Your bike outside a Lido

Plenty of them still around.

dazza · « **Reply #205 on:** 12 May 2014, 01:59:54 pm »

Still around, yes, not many of them called Lido's anymore. Will an open air swimming pool do ?

hightower · « **Reply #206 on:** 12 May 2014, 02:39:14 pm »

I didn't even realise that's what a Lido was - I thought it was a name of a shop or something!

risticuss · « **Reply #207 on:** 12 May 2014, 03:10:18 pm »

We still have one in Peterborough called The Lido.... at least that's what everyone round here calls it

I suppose an open air swimming pool will do.

Makes no odds to me Fizzy.

I was at the Strand this afternoon taking photo too Dazza, talk about coincidence lol.

dazza · « **Reply #211 on:** 12 May 2014, 05:12:47 pm »

Let's see the photo then. Was it for this challenge ?

AllyBally · « **Reply #212 on:** 12 May 2014, 06:56:11 pm »

Yes it was mate
next your bike next to a yellow car,not yours

dazza · « **Reply #213 on:** 12 May 2014, 07:11:15 pm »

That's quality, would have loved to have seen you there. Can just imagine us not speaking but fumbling to get our gloves back on and racing home to post.

AllyBally · « **Reply #214 on:** 12 May 2014, 07:24:24 pm »

Could have got a coffee, the parents of kids in playground probably thought we were weirdos turning up for photo then going.
Should have posted it on mobile but it's such a gaff with my steam powered phone

dazza · « **Reply #215 on:** 12 May 2014, 07:41:23 pm »

Get yourself out on the next LoFo ride out Ally and we'll have that coffee.

Next challenge....Your bike next to a yellow car, not yours.

rustyrider · « **Reply #216 on:** 12 May 2014, 08:19:24 pm »

Hardly seems worth trying. I was going to nip out to the Peterborough Lido but missed that one and hadn't even got my jacket on before the prison one was won. No doubt someone will post a picture of their bike with a yellow car before I've even got the cover off the bike!

AllyBally · « **Reply #217 on:** 13 May 2014, 04:35:03 pm »

That yellow enough
