Title: BCM600 2009 photos
Post by: Charlotte on 18 May, 2009, 09:04:07 am
The following photos represent every single picture I took this weekend; good, bad or indifferent.  I figured you'd rather see them all ASAP than wait for me to caption them all and do any kind of a write up.  If you think you look a bit rough or that I've failed to capture your finer points, I'm sorry.  You shouldn't have come along to such a bonkers event in the first place...

Gosh, that cafe with all the Wisteria - I use that when I'm riding down here from Brum.*
Now I have some sort of idea where you've been.
Well done all of you.

ChrisN - Good set of photos. I particularly love your Barmouth Bridge one.

Charlotte - You really should send your 'Ian with two wheels' photo to Arrivee. It would make a great cover picture and a nice departure from the normal 'person in audax kit onna bike climbing hill/coming round a corner smiling at camera'.

Note the beautiful Welsh tarmac.  It was a real disappointment crossing the border back into Herefordshire and your typical English road surface.

I've done the BCM 8 times, and only once (as a perm on a hot July weekend) have I seen that road without grey clouds and the odd spot of rain :)

I think "Near Beddgelert" is a work of art

Agreed MV. Other than that the hills are too high, Constable could have painted that.

Nice Storck there as well...  :P

That caught my eye too. I'm obviously too far into this audax lark as  thought it looked great with a Barley strapped to the seatpost. Hopefully my Serotta will be modelling the exact same so-wrong-its-right Barley look for a week in July :thumbsup:

The Storck belongs to Tiggers Taxi, that'll be Tigger on the Barley.

I'm disappointed to see Teethgrinder on a bike weighing less than 150lb.  He must have wanted an easy ride before LEL.

He's a bit of an Iddu-a-like as well.  Iddu has weirder taste in hats though.

LOL at the ancient Team Z jersey and gilet in the background.  I love it when a stereotype comes together.

You are right! Yes, I see now. Didn't notice at first because his very distinctive nose is obscured by the flaps of his greatcoat.

Well - hats solve a lot of complex social interactions; you can tip yer hat, and say without rancour "you'ze about to die boy!" ;D

I think you may be mistaking it for the B4271 round the back of the steelworks.

I thought someone had stuffed a No 2 Driver down the back of your shirt, which was why (a) you're looking slightly surprised and (b) you are so upright (avoids saying "erect").
