How many pistons has that got then? This is Pistonheads you seem to have strayed on to from your bicyclist website?

Errrr.....?

Errrr.....what? You have posted photo's of a ride on a bicycle on a Pistonhead forum, I fail to see the relevance or similarity between a site for petrol headed like minded people and a human powered machine without a piston in sight?

Errr?

It's called "The Pie & Piston". It's, like, a place that sort of resembles an 'online pub/bar' where conversations about non-motoring stuff can take place away from precious types who want a purely "motoring" forum.

You'll probably be horrified to learn of a sub forum for 'caravanists' too. There are sub forums for all sorts in "The Pie & Piston", and all are clearly labelled for the enjoyment of those who like the subject, and to allow those who don't share the enthusiasm to avoid a particular area. So if it offends you, don't stray in and post here. I avoid the "watches" thread, because I couldn't be less interested in the subject, same for 'video games' and 'gardening' discussions. I don't object to those who are interested having these sub forums, though, despite the fact that neither of these subjects involves the release of energy from fossil fuels.

If you don't like the conversation, feel free to leave it to those who do. Live and let live, eh brother?

Top of a very pleasant cat 2 climb this morning (Te Mata Peak in Hawkes Bay, NZ). My phone decided to lose its GPS signal half way up, which was annoying as I did it at a reasonable pace...

Stunning. I'd ride all day if the scenery looked like that.

A quick trip out on the singlespeed this morning, rubbish photo looking back over Tenterden.

[Dammit]

Meon Valley today:

It's a brilliant riding area - quiet rural roads amongst orchards, vineyards and farmland (I saw a total of 10 cars on the first 80km of that ride). Unfortunately, I live 4 hours away so only get to ride there when on holiday

Guisburn, Last time i was here was 4 year ago, not a bad place.

[phil-sti]

I was at Gisburn yesterday and it was lovely.

[B1G GK]

Was today, left Manchester in horrible rain, stayed dry for us, started to rain just as we had packed the car up to come home.

[Kieranv]

Two from the weekend.

[Craivold]

Some great pics in here, like the little bit of England in Shanghai shots from Pat Cash, the Wilier at Castle Howard is a nice one and I like the Time Machine at Meon Valley - great looking stead that. Here's a bit of New Forest love from the bank hol weekend

Some photos from my ride out on Friday...

A pretty unremarkable English market town at first glance, until you realise that I was 50km from the centre of Shanghai.
'Thames Town' is a housing development just outside SH, giving China a little piece of Blighty. I have to say, it was awesome to get a feeling of being at home somehow!

Around Thames Town there are statues of famous and influential Brits from different times in British history.
Note two of my favourites are pictured below: Sir Winston Churchill, and of course Harry Potter...

Its things like this that make China such an entertaining place to live...

haha cool

[v15ben]

The Shanghai photos are brilliant, can't beat some of the random spots in China.
I did the York Solar Cycle ride today, a very pleasant ride indeed.
First shot is the Sun, second one had to be done... resting my bike on Uranus!

Went for a bimble up to Aldershot heath/Ceasers camp. This was at the top of what we call brick hill.

[richardxjr]

First ever bit of coaching, a skills course nr Hertford with some mates and top bloke Tony 'Jedi' Doyle
Up there in my top 3 days on a bike ever.

[Mr Gearchange]

I'm doing exactly that in June - but with Nathan rather than Tony as he's not available now until July and I have a trip to BPW at the end of June.
Very much looking forward to both..

That's parallel with the main road isn't it? Quite short and steep from memory.
