The 2016 FOC-U Bike Picture Challenge

[fazersharp]

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

Next challenge your bike next to a water mill.

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?

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, only if you have series of date and time stamped pictures to prove that

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

[fazersharp]

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

True that, hence any mill will do even wind mill

Unfortunately not much of a challenge for me, cause I have one about 500 yards from home:
