Bluebells.
There were a couple of different suggestions, but if we're ever going to do bluebells, this is the week to do them.
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 week’s challenge or vote for someone else’s suggestion. First suggestion to get two supporting votes becomes next weeks theme, probably.
5. No limit on number of photos posted.
Not sure if this counts as jumping the gun, but if not, I vote for dikes or man-made earthworks.

Wyre Forest at dusk.
Breaking the rules as no bike but spotted these whilst out on the road bike.
Rubbish photo, but the expanse of bluebells in Dalkeith Country Park is as many as I've seen in one go, my phone was never going to come close to capturing it.
Lunchtime today ...
Next week's suggestion ... Wild Garlic (otherwise we'll miss the chance this year)

Second for the wild garlic.
Breaking the rules as I didn't have my bike with me, but I think this place has the biggest concentration of Bluebells I've ever seen. Taken on Monday in between the rain storms we had.

One from Mondays ride in some woods near the North Downs Way, Woldingham.
Suggestion: moss/lichen or disused roads.

Found some bluebells. Also found a hail storm, so sacked off any more riding.
I can contribute to this one! Colley hill, North downs - stunning bluebells everywhere!
A few more found today.

Genuinely thought I'd 'fail' this week, but at the end of a very tired commute home, I spotted these bad boys and girls just round the corner from home. I'm re-suggesting cutlery for next week 😁

Hardly seen any bluebells anywhere so far this year, let alone on the bike, so was pleasantly surprised to see this small clump surrounding a small jump at Glyncorrwg. On the Darkside descent, which is anything but dark!
Nice spin out on the road/gravel bike today. Bluebells are out in force in the east midlands.
There are some in the hedge on the right honest. Pic is the push out of Boggle Hole on Monday morning.

Ignore .
