That's magic Richard :-D I trust the midges did not cause too much grief...

I ran parkrun this morning and gave my new 100 milestone tee its first outing :-D

I then rode to the BikeBus on my tri-bike :)

An excellent day and a very warm one too...

Looks like the first one runs on flower power :lol:

The second one took me a minute to realise it's a model - a very nicely composed diorama and the drunken postbox only adds to the atmosphere 8-)

Superb!

Excellent Mick, I'll shove the pics of your own bike into the Gallery. Super compositions! I've found your bike Mick, but what's the story :?: A Hamburg purchase maybe :?:

Once you launched the calendar Neil I thought it would be amusing to get a miniature bike and see what I could create in terms of a 'Where's Wally' type theme. So I did as you probably just did, and searched online and ordered the bike the day you launched the calendar. It arrived while I was in Germany so I thought I'd take it out to lunch with us and see if I could find some decent settings, the idea being to see if I could get it to last for a while before the secret came out! :-D Unfortunately for me Jim has now recovered sufficient cognitive power to spot the ruse immediately and hence bring a rather quick end to the game. The one good thing is that it proves that Jim is definitely getting better all the time which is great. We might even make it to the northeast again in September if progress continues at this pace!! :-D

Of course you will be seeing more of my new machine as I find nice settings for it and it may even get a rider at some point! :-D
