Bike Life: December 2013

Unloved.....

In August, I signed up for a Facebook-based cycling challenge called 'Bike Visibility', organised
by The Bakewell Soap Company. There were 316 entrants and the concept was as follows;

''A Distance Race With A Visual Twist
This is a challenge that anyone with a bike can participate in. Your rides can be taken anywhere in the UK, even if you take your bikes on holiday, you could be commuting by bike to work for the two weeks or simply going on family rides at the weekends.
However you decide to participate, the format is simple, we just want your mileage and more importantly your photo’s and videos to go with it.
We're after photos with captions and/or videos of what you see and where you are as you venture out. The most compelling photo and video stories will be showcased.
The first Bike Visibility Challenge Champ will be crowned on September 1st after the judges have whittled down stand-out journeys to just one. If we can't separate the top entries it will come down to total Endomondo mileage covered over the two weeks.''

Week 1 was a normal commuting week but still plenty of opportunities to record what goes on around me.
Week 2 was my family Holiday in Wales.........well, I'd started the challenge....so I had to take the bike too!

Happy to say I got third on the total Mileage but happier still that they liked my photos.

Here is a selection of some of the pics from my Summer Commute routes. Week 2's photos can be seen under my next posting - looking back my Welsh Week when I was at the other end of NCN Route 4.
