Photo-a-month 2017

[gairym]

I thought I'd create a thread that is the illegitimate love child of the 'BAM' thread and the '2017 Bike Leans' (I didn't want to hijack that thread).

People might like to offer up one photo from each month of the year to document their travels, adventures or just fun rides.

Come on, let's see 'em.....

[gairym]

Here are my offerings.....

January



February



March



April



May



June



July



August



September



October



November



December

All you need there is to bind them together in print with up to 31 numbers under each and that would make a great calendar!

January - Winter Ride Event


February - on the Rovaniemi 150


March - Trans Cambrian Way


April - Pennine Bridleway


May - Fisherfield river crossing on the HT550


June - HT550, journey's end (almost)


August - Munro bagging


September - A damp Cairngorms Loop


October - Fat biking on the Yorkshire coast


November - first of the season's snow


December - sunny Dales bridleways


You may notice that there's no July. For some reason I didn't take any pictures of anything in July.

Interesting, I'll get back to this.

Mine probably won't have many riding photos though.

January - The Winter Event


February - in the local sand dunes

[
March - On top of a local hill


April - Sunrise with a Scots man


April again - sorry WRT with Jim Barrow and co


May - A late in the month local one


June - Another local one


July - with Summitoppler Jeff can you guess where?


August - back to the hill


September - Isle of Wight with mates made on here


October - In the woods


November - New tarp testing, yes I know the pole should be vertical Stuart has already told me


December - A new local spot just 20 mins from home with views over to Blackpool and Liverpool docks


My one tip to anyone going for BAM for the first time in 2018 and that is to aim for the first weekend of each month, then the pressure is off for the next few weeks.
Leave it late and the pressure can be a worry
