You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
We've done this before, over a year ago.
For those who don't remember it, the idea is that you take a photo of your bike with something that matches the current theme in the picture.
So, this week, we want a picture of your bike on, under or near a bridge.
Prop your bike against the bridge and take the picture yourself, or get someone to take a photo of you riding over a bridge, it doesn't matter which.
It's a simple enough idea, but one that some people seemed to struggle with last time. You know who you are. 👿
Just to make it clear, the idea is that you go out and take the photo this week, not to post one from your My Photos folder taken last year.
OK then. You've got till Sunday to find a bridge and post the picture here.
The rules;
1. Take a photo of your bike with something that matches the theme in the picture.
2. Interpret the theme any way you like.
3. Pictures should be taken between the dates in the topic title.
4. If you post a picture you can either suggest a theme for next weeks challenge or vote for someone else's suggestion. First suggestion to get two supporting votes becomes next weeks theme, probably
First entry from this mornings -5 commute!

Excellent Graham - glad to see this back - just the motivation I need to get out there 😀 . Good to see where other folks are riding too.
i was sat on the bike, cos some scrotes were snue gliffing behind me. 😐

You've got the "Bridge" part right.
I'm not so sure about the "You" and "This week" parts though.
Are you finding the rules a little too complex ? 😉

This bridge is just off the A701 Dumfries to Moffat road just out of Locharbriggs and the junction to Tinwald. Being sited where it is it has seen it`s fair share of incidents and accidents 🙄
The main road from here to Amisfield is just a tad dangerous to cycle on, this minor road is one of the safer options.
Aborted todays road ride, just too much ice;

Commute on the way to work, snow was very much deeper on the way back, in Brum.
Poor effort but here's mine from the ride home from work. In case you can't tell, that's the Mersey and the stunning vista behind is Warrington.

i forgot about bridges... will a dam do?
Put a pic up earlier and, like pretty much everyone else, forgot completely about a suggestion for next week....
How about water as a fairly easy one?
How about a pic of art for next week

Leeds / Liverpool canal

As we are approaching the next full moon 27 Jan so next week
hows about bikes and the moon
I've done this bridge before, pipeline over the Severn carrying water from the Elan Valley to Birmingham, but I thought it was cool the way the snow had settled on the mesh fencing.
[img] 
[/img]
Three suggestions for next week then, water, art or moon.
First one with a second vote gets it.
I know this has been asked a thousand times before but a quick search didnt give much help:
How do I post pics up on Stw??
That link at the top of the page 'forum help' ... It's all in there 🙂
Nice 1 CP - see if I can get some pics up!

Does 'The Wood Bank" at Cannock constitute a bridge? I'm not sure, oh well here you are anyway. [img]

Today's ride was great. Hardly saw a soul the entire time we were there. Riding in the snow was just really good fun.

or this...

If a theme for next week hasn't already been decided, then of all the ones I saw mentioned... "art" (because that's easy for me, and water is too close to bridges 😉 )

A bit of Clifton bridge Bristol
Managed two bridges today, only had a quick hour locally
An ickle one, which really needs a kicker for a jump over that stream rather than a very slippy bridge. Might be time to get the folding spade out 😉

I second the Moon for next week.
Next week please can we do... funny shaped trees. Only because I know a good 1!!

Not much of a bridge, but the best I could do at short notice.

Chainstay Bridge?
Whats this weeks challenge then ?
Vote?
Funny shaped trees.......
This weeks challenge anyone?
(snow)ploughs and bikes?
Bah, a day too late with my bridge shot. WHat's this weeks?
Sorry about the delay, I'm going to have to start posting the following weeks challenge the previous weekend. If I leave it until the Monday of the weekend in question, I don't always get around to it on time.
I think "Art" was the first one to get two votes, so that's what I've gone with. It doesn't matter much as we'll do them all eventually.
I would have liked to have done "Moon" as it's coming up to a full moon and the nights are longer now, but it seems to be overcast every night at the moment, so I'll hold that one back for better weather.
