The 2016 FOC-U Bike Picture Challenge - fazersharp - 01-01-16

The winner for 2015 with the most challenges completed was VAL.

As I as got the last one of 2015 (sort of ) it falls to me to start the 2016 one

So here it is for 2016. As mentioned, I'm not going to be scoring this, so someone needs to pick it up. I suggest Val ---who won the last year .

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!

The 1st one for 2016 is

Your Bike Next to a Paint Ball Center

You sod, I could've sworn that just said "mill", and wasn't specific about what type when I set out with the sole intention of getting that shot in the wee hours of this morning. You wouldn't believe the effort, the cold, the discomfort, the danger I put myself and my bike through to get this shot:

:lol

I would accept that ONLY if you remove the rain cover and the disc lock, it was supposed to ride to the challenge :pokefun

Also there will be a bonus if the mill is on a river :lol

like this one:

What if I told you that I rode out to buy the peppermill specifically for this challenge, then put the cover and locks back on the bike when I got back, and took the photo?

Seems legit to me you can set up the next challenge than Big Grin

Re: The 2016 FOC-U Bike Picture Challenge - fazersharp - 05-01-16

To be fair the challenge was edited to add the word "water" some 20 hours into the set "Mill" challenge.
