    Unfortunately Cat With No Tail beat me to it, but I thought I would post up my efforts anyway.

    Fail of a ride today, had to walk halfway home due to puncture. Was fixing said puncture when I got home, and there was some horses in the field behind my house so I thought I would nab a picture for the photo challenge.

    There is in fact 3 horses (as my expert paint skills have shown), so I in fact tripled the horseage ;)

    Now to look for a skip...

    I'll give it until later tonight, and if you've still failed, I will set another challenge.

    Does it have to be a purposely made trail for mountain bikes or can it be any man made trail?

    OH FFS, I forgot this, and I've just come back from Coedy. I was even going to take a picture of my bike upside down after a crash, since it looked like it had put itself in the "change my tyres, please" position, all by itself.
    'Tis a clever bike. Sadly, the rider is not (well, incredibly fogetful)

    Missed out on my chance today as the wife took a trip to the hospital via ambulance. 1 penthrane whistle and a few hits of morphine she's right as rain and home again.

    Try again tomorrow. (Always tomorrow!)

    I was going to get this one tonight but on my way to the photo opportunity I had an OTB moment and decided to turn around and head home before the swelling kicked in. Knee looks somewhere between a grapefruit and a really lumpy potato.

    I'm not going for this challenge now. It's up to you Ransaka.

    On a man made trail in Stanmer Park. Not very exciting I appreciate but best I can do at the moment. Top one is at the start of it against a 2 or 3 foot drop, 2nd one is halfway down next to the world's smallest jump thet leads into a low berm.

    Win? If so, your bike on scaffolding, i.e. off the ground on scaffolding., on a board, hanging from the bars, whatever but off the ground.

    The scaffolding outside my first floor flat.

    If that's a win, your bike and a sunset

    Who would steal pink scaffolding? (I was from Swansea, so stopping people from stealing things was a common thought!)

    I still think it's some gener bender builder that bought it in the first place.

    I'd steal it and paint it blood red or something manly.

    I live in a council flat and it's them who are doing the repair work. I guess they go for what ever they can get cheap

    Just started thinking of names for said builder: Anthony's Erections (The 'th' in Anthony is pronounced like 'the' not 'thomas')
