Not the best piccie in the world.....marlow regatta, always seen as a warm up for henley royal regatta , better in my opinion you get a better view of the racing without paying ridiculous admission prices, a visit to the fair with my parents as a small boy was something I looked forward to.....happy days   :thumbup

 Cheers northwestern...not sure if that one was good enough, got me out though  :thumbup.......a few years back it would have been packed,, they moved a lot of the racing to dorney reach a few years back, killed it really. .shame as I have lots of happy memories of years gone by......best one, was probs 9 or 10 and we used to go down when the fair was packing up and search the ground where the dive bomber used to be for loose change that had fallen out of peoples pockets, always found something  ;)



anywhos.......next challenge.........YOUR BIKE AND SOME STREET ART....example below taken at windsor a few weeks back.

Not quite as intricate as your example but this was the largest one I could think of:





Adelphi Street, Preston (the unofficial "student quarter").

ok, next challenge, your bike outside a library.


Extra points if there is a strict looking bespectacled librarian frowning at your bike from a window (preferably someone Sid James might have leared at).

OK here goes, this is the library at the University where I work.  It doesn't look like a library but we did get a Library Services sign up in the window that's been doctored to read "Just DON'T ask". Beside the poster is one very angry and very real librarian  :)  Hope it's ok.

Come on, the weather's not that bad. There's got to be at least a couple of people still riding, and carrying cameras.

New challenge just to get it rolling.

You're bike outside a pub with a number in the title.

Or if no one wants that, you're bike with some clouds in view.
