Day 82 - Chainring

Too cold to go out, so have been looking for some things in the house to shoot.

Can't do the bike riding I used to but I still have all my old kit. The last time I used this piece it took me to the top of an alpine pass...

[Chippy Minton]

And I thought the 14 miles I did today in the b&%"@%* freezing cold was tough, hats off Kev, don't think I could ever had cycled up an Alpine pass on two wheels.

Well, unless it had a 929cc 150 hp liquid cooled engine :-)

[JoeBoo]

@ch1ppy_m1nton - you a member of the fraternity too then? Ha ha! Good news! Just longing for the weather to pick up, and it's playtime!

Oh yeah - nice pic Kev. Very arty...

[Chippy Minton]

Between bikes at the moment @joeboo after I threw myself down the track 18 months ago smashing up my leg, had to sell both bikes. Was hoping to get another 'blade this year but am too old/fat/crippled - need to rethink options!

[Rob Wareham]

Great close up with lots of detail.

[guttersniperebecca]

Nice lighting

[Kev]

@ch1ppy_m1nton @joeboo Oh no, I've started off you too now have I - have to put up with JoeBoo parading round in his dodgy leathers at work :-J

[Kev]

@guttersniperebecca @barrowlane Thanks guys, was a bit stuck, but there you go.

[Laura Thornton]

That doesn't look like it has any business being in the house. Where do you keep it? In the kitchen? Creative angle. Looks dangerous!

[Kev]

@ptowncook Spare bedroom - where all the important boy's stuff is kept ;-)
Have to say, there not much fun getting one across you in a crash... Done that before. Not in the same league as Chippy, though.

[Mary Karczynski]

Totally impressed !! Nice shot!!

[Smitha]

very cool pov. interesting processing.

[Bernie]

Ultegra .. nice. Nasty ding though. Great lighting ... sexy (the shot ... not you ... though I'm sure you are very nice).

[mizhayz]

cool perspective.. have not ridden a "fast" bike in ages.. mine now has a flat tire :-(

[Andrew]

Spooky. I tried taking almost identical shot yesterday. Gave up due to lack of decent lighting (and talent). Of course, I at least got to ride it ;-)

[Malc Bird]

Nice close-up shot and a bit of a graze (or is that a nasty ding)?

[Kev]

@malc Hi Malc, it's a graze caused by pronation of my right foot - i.e. my heel catches slightly every pedal stroke, particularly when I had loads of cold and wet protection on.

[Kev]

@ozwatson Better than me than, mate - much better to be riding than shooting the things!

[Kev]

@berniecarpenter Hi Bernie - it's a pronation graze - see comment to Malc above.

[Kev]

@mizhayz @smithak @mak2 Thanks for the feedback guys!

[Chippy Minton]

@snaggy do you mean that @joeboo will be walking around in his manly tasteful leathers ;-)

[Kev]

@ch1ppy_m1nton No, I mean @joeboo looks like the Stig on acid
