[hairnet]

Zzzzz

Going home for bacon now

bike outside an outdoor swimming pool or lido

[Hedgetrimmer]

Ah, sorry hairnet, that challenge already done this round. Seems I missed it on the last leaderboard, apologies 

And apologies to dazza, who won that one. Will update scores retrospectively (page 15).

You'll have to pick a different one, please.

a sporting arena that doesnt use a ball or any type of bat 

[NorthWestern]

Not sure if this qualifies as it isn't an "arena" in the modern sense....  I couldn't think of anything else here that would be an arena not featuring balls/bats, perhaps the biggest would be the Manchester Velodrome.  Most non ball grounds - athletics/cycleing here have closed/moved to the huge UCLAN sports complex and is more of a campus than an actual arena...


This is at Fishwick BMX track (a national race track) off London Road, Preston.  I was going to attempt a crowd pleasing backward 360 off the table top but alas I couldn't get the bike through that gate there....






The club used to be at Deepdale where my brother and I would take our BMX's, it was bulldozed to make way for a Sainsburys before reopening here in 2005 or so.  It is itself built on the old running track.

Bloody  hell, don't leave your bike there at Fishwick for long, some bugger will rob it!!!

[hairnet]

 

my idea was gonna be either the velodrome or the aquatic centre in manc

but didnt use the bike today as car needed a tyre and an oil change for a trackday at zandvoort

[NorthWestern]

Well, if my pic is acceptable the next challenge is your bike with a large public Xmas tree behind it (bonus points if there is also a nativity with sweet baby jesus!) 

[HarryHornby]

I think we might need a new challenge, or wait another 50 weeks.......

Mods, time to lock this thread. Someone else now needs to step in and take over the scoring and start the 2015 thread, as I'm going to be a bit too busy for a while, and might be without internet for a bit too.
