2014 FOC-U Bike Picture Challenge

[nick crisp]

Bit pointless really. I thought I'd give this a go this year as it does encourage me to get out on the bike. First, Paul's piss-take and now this. Why?
It's done properly on another forum I use, and is enjoyable for that. I had actually started to look forward to the challenges as, although I don't have a mobile device to post from, and can't get out during working days to do it, I'd still give it a shot.
Poor show folks.

Did'nt mean to take the piss nick  :\...the steam loco was going to be hard at this time of year.just wanted to keep things moving and everyone interested......its a great challenge and did get me out on a wet and windy day........thank you for taking it on, I'll try a bit harder next time .........promise :rolleyes

[fazersharp]

I did it on the last one with a plane flying over your bike
(held a bosch planer over it)
And in the interest of moving somthing on I think its ok and can give a chuckle
I like your proof of steam for eg

[red98]

Got a good laugh from that, but when it got accepted by the challenge poster, I thought it a bit out of order.
Great to have some banter - real reason I'm annoyed? Cos I'm off tomorrow and want to have a crack at one, even though I'm busy first thing!  :lol  I was actually going to do the post box one - found where there was one in Oxford, was going to nip home after work for a bite, then leg it 20 miles up the A40 - damn, beaten to it! But fair and square, so that was ok.

Funny BBB, that looks like Inverary, you live in Glasgow. So, ok I thought, maybe he's got a mobile thingy and happened to be down that way. Then fazersharp points out the flaws, and then I remembered you posted about a ride down there last year. Rumbled pal!  :lol

Rule 1. Nobody is to be caught not drinking!

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.

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.

Rule 4. Noooooo pooftahs!

Not everyone can have a crack at a challenge during the week due to work commitments etc, hence rule 3.


And I doubt I'll make this one either  :\:

Current challenge: YOUR BIKE NEXT TO AN OCEAN-GOING SHIP

One 350 mile ride later:

[nick crisp]

Sharpness on the Severn Paul. Was going to go to Avonmouth to try and get it, but someone said that Sharpness has a lot of container ships going in and out, and as I had to go to Cirencester this morning, it seemed easy to get to.

Hope this boat is big enough fazersharp? It is ocean-going 

If accepted, the next challenge is:

YOUR BIKE NEXT TO A RESERVOIR DAM

e.g.:

Don't tell me me he's gone for a ride out for miles and misread the challenge?!! Are we now waiting til he actually finds a dam?  :lol

Challenge is still open if someone else got it - you'd best hurry Fizzy! (Hmmm, wonder what I can find on Saturday....)

Current challenge:

YOUR BIKE NEXT TO A RESERVOIR DAM

[fazersharp]

You know if you went out on that middle earth ride out that you will be passing right past a reservoir dam at Rutland water and you could have a mass photo challenge

[red98]

great minds 

[bigbluebear]

Aye, good shout Fizzy, all I can see is  damn wall :eek

Read your rules Nick  :lol

Cheeky bugger!
Not like you didn't enlarge the photo after first posting it  :rolleyes
And the challenge was "next to a reservoir dam" - the reservoir is not required to be in the pic 

And then I could be REALLY pedantic and point out that the challenge was "your bike NEXT TO a reservoir dam", not 2 foccin miles away from it!  :rolleyes :lol

Ok, in the proper spirit of the game and to save further argument, if 3 people ok it Fizzy, you got it. Fair enough?

BBB, Fazersharp = x2 oks

One more for the win.
