Title: Arrows - The photographic record
Post by: Bianchi Boy on 08 April, 2012, 01:41:37 pm
I would like to see some photos of the Arrows. Especially any that feature night riding and the melee at the Punch Bowl after the ride.

There is a reason - I am writing a short piece in my club rag and want some images to give my poor prose some colour. I will message the people who took the photo I would like to include to inform that they have been used. The club magazine in question has a circulation of about 250.

My hope is to encourage some of my club mates into the alternative cycling world that is Audax.

I have a photo of the beer garden full of bikes if I can download it.

That's a Flesh photo, not an Arrow.

Good grief!  :o

I have reported this to the moderator for us to pour over along with the series of bus shelter pictures that have been  deemed as 'acceptable' to be posted on the Internet.

I can't help but be reminded of the scene in "One flew over the cuckoo's nest", where they get to have an unauthorised trip out from the Hospital.

Looks like an advert for a Rapha randoneurs sleeping bag.

Bogs all occupied, I suppose, and when you gotta go, you gotta go. I do hope your sleeping bag's dried out.

Worse that that the bogs were all padlocked so I was unable to use my magic Radar key. In Hawes we resorted to exploring people's back gardens to find a tap so we could fill our bottles!  Probably not the best idea at 3am but we were thirsty after the Chinese meal :P

Churches often have a tap outside for watering flowers on graves.
Just turn the tap on and make sure it has mains so that you know it's coming from the mains before you use it for drinking.
Petrol garages often have taps outside too.

We'd already tried a church and the village hall. If we didn't find any outside taps the next plan was to clamber in through a kitchen window as we'd picked up some good tips from an army sniper we met in Carlisle

I put some of the photos that I took on this Audax themed blog I started... the photos were just taken on my phone, so going from phone, to computer, to blog has somewhat dulled the picture quality...

TOP blog Joel,

Many thanks for the comradeship and support of Tim, Pete, Gadge and yourself throuought the entire ride - I found the 02:00-04:00 'danger zone' extremely difficult on this ride - I enjoyed the whole experience immensley and only wished we could have made it in time for celebratory pints in the Punch Bowl - ahh well, there's always next year.

best,
J

Yes, that's a good report.  Nice to see Jonah's new bike.  I think the pictures are great and that black and white suits the enterprise and emotions graphically!

Thanks!
