Your bike with a beautiful woman? :thumbup:
While that's a great challenge, that's not how it works. You have to meet a challenge to post new one. So it's up to Nelly now.
Your bike in a stream.
how about we start posting a goggle street view link to our pictures?

Well I know the perfect spot, just 200m from home, so I could give it a go but don't think I should really qualify as the ride is "not really there"and I would really rather do the ride and post a pic as an"extra bonus"
so its still "your bike in a stream"
Ok I went for a short 80km ride, beautiful day warm and very mild wind.
I went up the mountain to find a stream. I got to this track.
The track was 1 km long and very bad. I dropped the bike three times riding through the dried ruts. Being 5'6" and not being able to flat foot the bike was a bike problem. The ruts were about 1 to 2 feet deep as I got along it. I couldn't turn around so had to just plough on. Eventually I come to the end and a locked field gate. I tried to pivot the bike around to face the other way and I dropped it again.
By this time I was knackered. I could not pick it up. I was knackered and at one point seriously thought about walking back the 6 km's to the last house I saw. So I had a bit of an A-Team moment. After a quick reccie I found a plank of wood and a water butt.
Using the plank I pushed it under the bike and put my gloves on the plank to protect the bike from scratches. After two attempts I levered the bike up enough to get the water butt under the plank. After this I was able to get the bike upright. I was sweating like a pig 20C today.
The ride back down the track was uneventful as I stayed in the ruts nearest the bank. So if the bike toppled I just let it land on my leg and I could easily push it upright. All this to find a blood stream lol.
Anyway I found a river, I did not put the bike in it as I thought I would not get it back out. So my picture is my bike as close to the stream as I could safely get.
What a great days riding I loved it.

Well, I missed this message!!!!!!!!
I took the bike to see my nephews playing soccer on Saturday and, of course, I remembered the Riding Game and snapped a picture (of the previous challenge).
At least it will work as a bump !!!!!

Since it's been over 48 hours and no one has met the challenge, close enough. :thumbup:
Next challenge please.
