    Wednesday's ride. Just North of Big Fork. This is why I don't need navigation on my bike computer. Where are you going to go except to follow the road? :laugh: :laugh:

    Picture of me at the finish of our club 10m TT last night. PB of 24.44 and the fastest on the night riding a standard road bike :)

    This was on the route. Camas Creek Basin. There was a HUGE forest fire here in 2003. You can see that it's coming back really well.

    That was a difficult selfie to take - I can see you framing the shot with your peripheral vision :laugh:

    Ipad on continuous shoot mode, frame it while looking at the screen and hold the shutter down, then concentrate on the bottle of beer. Then review the shots and find one where my eyes were pointing in the right direction. Not difficult, but strangely I did need to have a few attempts at it.

    And thats it folks - we are now closed off for the 2014 Giro Challenge. Now I get to trawl through god only knows how many Strava files to verify everything. I'll pass a link to this thread to an independent judge* and hopefully get a result for this thread sometime this week.



    * I also help moderate a Photography Forum, and I've asked one of the other Mod's who actually shoots sports photography to cast an eye over the images, and give their opinion...
