Taken from one bridge looking at the Cumberland Bridge and the Clifton Suspension Bridge.

ahh, so is this turning into a ‘how many bridges and a bike can you get in one shot this weekend’ thread? 😀

cheez0 – looks like it 😉

Bristol ride with clubber this morning.

Btw – great idea MTG – nice one!!

Four bridges on my ride today..

The unrideable planks

The urban one

The wooden one, where I managed to get the dog still for a second

and the motorway bridge. Preferred this shot to the one of my bike though 🙂

Challenge 1 complete

Thought I’d go for something you may appreciate MTG – downstream from you lot up North they are erecting the flood barriers in Upton, so we went over for a pedal round the fields before they end up submerged.

Upton Bridge

Lowland drainage crossing

Marina

Upton Bridge

I didn’t post this earlier, because it’s a bit blurred, but just think, that could be the very same water flowing under Arley footbridge, as I crossed it just before before dawn this morning, as flowed under Upton Bridge as you crossed it a few hours later. 😀

Awesome 😀

i’ve been out collecting bridges, 5 so far, maybe more tomorrow, might stretch the bandwidth a bit 😉

Nearly forgot about this until I got back to the hub cafe. I know it’s not actually on a bridge, but pretty close 😆

Road ride this morning with Rusty Trowel.
Over the M3

Somewhere near Sherborne St John near Basingstoke.

Today. Ok, so it’s not on, or rather, in, this bridge, because it was quite dark inside

See?

Bridgetastic ride in the white peak today

Bridge over the river wye

Monsall Head

Bridleway near Hassop

This morning’s unusual bike mix/saturation ride sur le pont moin de Egerton:

Blurry shot with trolls.

and clearer shot with trolls washed away.

Couple of rather gloomy blurry shots from the ‘port

You know they were taken this weekend as otherwise it’d be a different bike 😆

lol @ Mama

only 4 today so 10 for the weekend

Bikes on Bridges III by rOcKeTdOgUk, on Flickr

My Sat & Sun were rained off 🙁 . So I’ll break the rules…

From a bridge.

More here…

***Whats the next picture challenge ?***

This one’s more next to a bridge than on it. Proper boggy sticky mud to get to the gate “handle” so I didn’t bother 😆 Almost lost a shoe putting the bike in position.

I like this weekend photo challenge idea, its made me get out and ride where I don’t normally ride 🙂

Damn it, wish I’d seen this thread before I went out! Some cracking bridges on here. Lovely stuff! Any ideas for the next challenge? How about trying to get a photo of yourself and bike with some other cyclists that you’ve never met before? Too much hassle? How about a shot of bike plus some wildlife?

I never see any other riders out other than the roadies who don’t say hello, so that one’s gonna be hard.

Yes, too difficult really. The wildlife one could be tricky too. OK. What about pictures of monuments?

Wildlife one would be easy, if cows and sheep count 😛 Monuments/statues is good, so long as they don’t have to be famous figures or anything.

Couldn’f face going out and getting stuck in the clay round here today so…

Bridge over the railway, looking at the level crossing i will be using in a minute

Looking over the very full dyke towards my house somewhere beyond the trees. That high water level is the reason i was on the road today 🙂

I could see the pictures of sheep and cows getting a bit numerous and out of hand!
No specifics for monuments.

How about pictures of your bike leaning on a trig point?

I could see the forum being inundated with different photo requests come next weekend! All good though, I’ll make a list and tick them off as I ride!

bike against a monument or folly i recon would be good

I was going to wait until late tonight to set next weeks theme.
How do people want to play this ?
A new thread every week, or let this one run ?
I’ve already got something planned for next weekend’s challenge, but I’m going to run out of ideas one day, so how do we choose who sets the theme ?
I originally planned to set the theme on Friday nights, but some people like to plan their rides further ahead, so would Sunday night be better ?
I started the thread, but I’m happy to let it evolve and take whatever direction it does.

Today’s Wyre Forest ride.
Brand new bridge over Dowles Brook.

Picture 028 by Vegan Graham, on Flickr

Blimey it’s been too long since i was last in the Wyre if they’ve built a bridge now (can you still ride through?)

is this bridge top trumps?

Houns, it was too deep to ride today and I’m not sure if it would still be possible if the water was lower.
I know they dug a narrow deep channel with steep sides to contain the brook while the bridge was being built, but I don’t know if it was made wider and shallower again afterwards. It’s all under too much water to see at the moment.

I reckon a seperate thread for each weekend would be easier to manage.

I have, from this morning, a bridge :

and a sign, taken 10 mins later :

Separate thread each week definitely

I have a few ideas for future challenges – would you like them posting here?

My 2 two inputs from a couple of hours ago

My attempt at the smallest bridge award

and another that really is not that much bigger

P1030317 by eastham_david, on Flickr

what a muddy hour and half that was, thank goodness for swampthings 😆

Only just remembered this week’s challenge at the end of the ride…..

😉

new bridge at the wyre? 🙁 riding through without dabbing was a highlight!
