Things you don't normally see on a ride.

I am very fortunate to have some very pleasant riding territory right on my doorstep. There are many miles of narrow country lanes going up and down hill and past some attractive reservoirs. Lots of pictureaque spots where you may be tempted to take a photo.
And herein is the crux of todays somewhat surprising sight.
At 8:30 this morning, I was heading down one of said narrow lanes towards a right angle left turn that would take me along the top edge of one of the reservoirs. The approach is tree lined and I would not have been obvious to anybody along the edge of the reservoir. A white transit van was parked on a small verge on the outside of the bend. Nearing the bend I caught sight of an unusually dressed young lady. It was immediately obvious she was posing for a gentleman with a camera. As I neared the bend I had full view of her outfit which consisted of...
Lycra micro shorts and a very short figure hugging crop top with convenient zipper access at the front. Said zipper was presumably either malfunctioning or alternatively had been left undone to help with cooling on what was a very pleasant morning (didn't last). She was also wearing a pair of traditional roller boots with wheels at each corner.
It transpired that my immense speed caused a rush of air in front of me as my arrival induced a sudden cold spell that prompted certain areas of exposed flesh to be rapidly covered.
It did make me chuckle somewhat but I found the whole thing rather peculiar.
Anyhow, what did you see on your ride today?

That's just Aggieboy at work. I look forward to seeing the pics. Never had him down as a transit van driver though.

"Immense speed" and therefore very observant or freewheeling and perhaps tip-offed to the event?
Or very lucky?Ecrasez l’infame0 -
Ace!
On my ride yesterday (didn't ride today), I saw a - ahem - traveller tying up his horse and cart before heading into a rough looking boozer. I was finding a new route and it needs tweaking!Ben

You should of taken a pic - your very own entry for the Girls in Lycra Shorts thread.0 -
I was overflown by a WWII Fighter and Bomber the other day at low altitude, not enough of a spotter to be able to name them with 100% accuracy but maybe a Hurricane and a twin engined bomber possibly a Manchester bomber?
Certainly came at a good time when I was flagging and it gave me a lift while out riding for sure.

Cornerblock, it did very much strike me that this was perfect fodder for the 'girls in lycra' thread but I hadn't considered it was Aggiboy himself.
Belgian beer, the immense speed was a joke, I don't know why she covered up so quickly though, happy to display her wares (but only selectively?)
Mrpoll, you guessed well, heading towards Angelzarke from White Coppice end.0 -
Surely, this is the reason why we should all have HD helmet cams ? As previously mentioned, this was clearly a missed opportunity for Girls in Lycra !

Apologies if this sounds like a bit of one up man ship (pun) but during a recent visit to the Western Algarve I had a ride on a hot day (+30C on the road) up to the top of the Monchique Mountain Range (Foia) I returned down to Monchique Village where I had lunch then it was back down the Portimao road and back to Lagos where I was staying.
Well I needed a pit stop after the descent and had a quiet spot in mind that I have used in the past just up a quiet side road by a bridge, as I approach the turning there were workmen cutting verges, no problem so I turned off and spotted a old white Nova parked off the road just past the bridge where I usually stop. Then my attention was taken by the sight of a guy standing in the stream with camera pointing at a starkers young female paddling and giggling in the stream as well.
Now I needed a leak and the way home was back past the bridge, I carried on a bit and found the next suitable spot for a pee, then feeling a bit pervy I returned and of course had another look but they had moved on somewhat, so back on to the main road where several of the workmen, a few with cameras were scouting the river for some shots.
I thought that was a bit different, I shall be white Nova spotting in the future me thinks.

As an aside to this, I was out for a ride a few months ago down some seriously nice country lanes near where I live. Fassa Bortolo kit was white and gleaming, I was feeling tanned and healthy, the good bike was shooming along in a cloud of silence, carbon wheels doing that cool noise they do and Dura Ace a snicking through the gears, having just crushed a local killer hill. 11 - 21 was the perfect gearing that day. A "no chain" day?
I was Da Man. No one was cooler than me. Every woman in the world wanted to dance for me.
Until that is some bloke flew over me in a Spitfire, heading into the clear blue cloudless sky..
I then realised that I was nothing more than a pleb on a pushie wearing stupid clothes and in actual fact, the mantle of Da Man had been snatched ever so cruelly from me. He was going to sleep with so many more women that evening than me, and he knew it. I went home and kicked the cat before doing something as glamourous as repairing a leaky toilet.0 -

Not cycling related but - an old school friend of mine is a pilot and had the chance to fly Wellington bombers. One summers day he phoned his Dad and told him to be outside his farm house in Cornwall at a certain time. At said time he flew low over the house and waved out of the window at him. Always thought that was kind of cool."There's a shortage of perfect breasts in this world, t'would be a pity to damage yours."0 -

What is it about roller skates/blades? Once i was cycling on a cycle path through a field in the middle of nowhere when the heavens suddenly opened. Seemingly out of nowhere came a lovely young filly on a pair of roller blades with a tight white t-shirt and no bra. As I rode towards her she gave me a resigned look and a smile as if to say "yes, this is what happens to tight white t-shirts when it rains". I leered, sorry, smiled back, didn't realise the puddle in front of me was a 6 inch deep pothole, landed on my arse, puncturing my front tyre. But somehow I didn't mind due to the gorgeous look over the shoulder and a wink which said "serves you right, you cheeky little scamp".0

2 days ago I was crossing one of the bridges in town, and there were roughly around 374 people on bikes in the buff!
mostly mens unfortunately, resting their sacks on the boris bike cross bars, but there were a few tasty young ladies doing the ride too.
you simply cannot beat bouncing boobs on a boris bike over blackfriers bridge.ɹǝʌo llǝɟ noʎ 'sıɥʇ pɐǝɹ uɐɔ noʎ ɟI0 -
I was cycling the other day and said 'Good morning' to a fellow cyclist and he said 'Good morning' back. I nearly fell off.0

Tonight on a quick thrash up and down a local road, I was followed by two bloody great long tailed, green parrots. I've seen a flock near Twickenham before, but never here."There's a shortage of perfect breasts in this world, t'would be a pity to damage yours."0

Pair of F-15's flew over me yesterday, love riding through Thetford forest for that experience.
Sadly no F-15's landing at Lakenheath as I rode by the end of the runway, that's always an impressive sight when they do. 8)0 -
