Today marks my first day of freedom after nine days of self-isolation, following being 'pinged' by the NHS test-and-trace app. I don't get the bike out much nowadays due to my knee problems, but I couldn't resist going out for a spin this morning.
This signal box and old-fashioned level crossing gates are on the 'low level' railway line at Bank Quay, near the 'pink eye' building, formerly a grain store.
Taking my Dawes '1-Down' out for a spin on Sunday morning, before the rain forecast for later in the day. It has taken me a while to build up enough confidence to go out on the bike, after all of the knee issues and surgery that I have had over the last 2 years.
For the challenge theme to show what I am doing this weekend, which included Friday 9th and Monday 12th September. Once again, I cycled a longer route home from work, pausing to take this shot on the Moore Lane swing bridge over the Manchester Ship Canal.
To celebrate my first day out of COVID self-isolation, I took the bike out for a spin around the local lanes. It was a pleasant and sunny afternoon, but I am SO out of condition!
Out on the bike again. Since having had COVID over Christmas, I now find that I run out of puff very easily when doing anything even slightly strenuous.
I lined them up in color. They are placed in order of their iris size.
They are all color coded by their company.
acrylics - Dollmore, Volks, M7, Glib
glass - Luts, BJDFH, Umi, DGLW, M7, The Sixth, Smumu, 芸の痕, Nasuraw
silicone - Soom
urethane - 綠瞳閣, Rebeldom
In my real honest opinion, the most lovely eyes that I own are the +Umi+ ones (5down/4across). You can literally SEE every single line in great detail. Just a work of art.

And the ones that are not worth their money? Soom silicones. Flat pieces of paper...bleh~ though they do catch the light well, you can't help notice how flat they are.
The 綠瞳閣 urethanes (1down/3rd from back) have already yellowed in the short ONE year that I had them. I've never taken them out in the sun. These had been made to order so they never sat on a shelf, either. What a waste of good money.
I was starting to feel in need of some fresh air, so I took my old Dawes '1 Down' for a spin round the local lanes for about an hour and a half. Here it is, propped up against a typical Cheshire farm building by the side of the road near Preston-on-the-Hill
Seen near Moore in Cheshire, while taking my old Dawes '1 Down' out for the first time this year. This sums up what I think winter looks like in the parts of the UK that don't normally get snow: grey, brown and dismal.
I bought this rather cryptically-named Dawes '1 Down' touring bike some time around 1999, so it has been showing its age for a while. The STI lever for the front gear changer stopped working a while back and I never much liked the original ITM drop handlebars, so I felt it was time to show it some love. I have fitted new 'moustache' handlebars (On-One 'Mungo' bars), brake levers and an 8-speed bar end shifter. I still need to replace the slightly rusty brake cables and add handlebar tape. The shabby-looking chainset and mudguards are a job for another time.

A motorcycle club is a group of individuals whose primary interest and activities involve motorcycles.
In the U.S. the abbreviation, MC or MCC, can have a special social meaning from the point of view of the outlaw (aka one percenter) subcultures, and is usually reserved by them for those clubs that are mutually recognized by other MC clubs. This is indicated by wearing the MC patch, or a three piece patch, or colors, on the back of a club jacket or vest. Outlaw (or one percenter) can mean merely that the club is not chartered under the auspices of the American Motorcyclist Association, implying a radical rejection of authority and embracing of the "biker" lifestyle defined and popularized since the 1950s and represented by such media as Easyriders magazine, the work of painter David Mann, and more. In many contexts the terms overlap with the usual meaning of "outlaw" because some of these clubs, or some of their members, are recognized by law enforcement agencies as taking part in organized crime.
Outside of the outlaw subculture, the words "motorcycle club" carry no heavy meaning beyond the everyday English definition of the words – a club involving motorcycles, whose members come from every walk of life. Thus, there are clubs that are culturally and stylistically nothing like outlaw or one percenter clubs, and whose activities and goals not similar to them at all, but still use three-part patches or the initials MC in their name or insignia.
Types of clubs, groups and organizations
Motorcycle clubs vary a great deal in their objectives and organizations. Mainstream motorcycle clubs or associations typically have elected officers and directors, annual dues, and a regular publication. They may also sponsor annual or more frequent "rallies" where members can socialize and get to know each other. Some publish in book form lists of members that can be used by touring motorcyclists needing assistance.
There are a great many brand clubs, or clubs dedicated to particular marques, including those sponsored by various manufacturers, such as the Harley Owners Group and the Honda Riders Club of America. There are large national independent motorcycle clubs, such as BMW Motorcycle Owners of America, the STAR Touring and Riding Association, and the Gold Wing Road Riders Association (GWRRA). In the United Kingdom, there are brand clubs such as the Triumph Owners' Motor Cycle Club (founded in 1949).
Clubs catering for those interested in vintage machines such as the Vintage Motor Cycle Club are also popular as well as for those centered around particular venues. Clubs catering for riders' rights such as the Motorcycle Action Group, and charities such as the 59 Club are popular, many affiliating with the umbrella organization, the British Motorcyclists Federation. National and local branch club magazines and events are typical characteristics of such clubs. More informal groupings continue to exist though for riders local to each other.
Other organizations whose activities primarily involve motorcycles exist for a specific purpose, such as the Patriot Guard Riders, who provide funeral escorts for military veterans, and Rolling Thunder, which advocates for troops missing in action and prisoners of war. While neither of the latter two groups require a motorcycle for membership, they are motorcycling-oriented and much of their activity involves ride. The Christian Motorcyclists Association is a biker ministry. In the United Kingdom, Freewheelers EVS is one of a number of similar charities, which use motorcycles to provide an out-of-hours emergency medical courier service. Some clubs attract membership from specific groups, such as the Blue Knights Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club, consisting of law enforcement personnel.
The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) is the largest American motorcyclist organization. It serves as an umbrella organization for local clubs and sporting events. As of March, 2006, the AMA counts 269,884 active members and many chartered clubs.

It was a lovely evening for once, so I rode my trusty steed down the trans-Pennine trail as far as the outskirts of Widnes, to get some shots of the Mersey Gateway bridge. The post thing that my bike is leaning against is topped with what appears to be a laser reflector.

Day 62 - March = Grey.
I won't drink them all tonight ;-)
Went to Focus on Imaging today at the NEC. Lots to tempt me but I refrained. Tried out the new 6D and was very impressed.
With chunky 26 x 1.75" touring tyres, full mudguards and a simple 1 x 8 drivetrain, I have gradually morphed my old Dawes '1 Down' tourer into a good winter bike, commuter and general runabout.
The pre-War Union Express - train 1Down heading for Johannesburg.
The Union Express had the van attached behind the loco to allow the observation car to trail at the rear. This arrangement was later altered where the observation cars were rebuilt as
full lounge cars and re-positioned next to the dining car - the van returning to the traditional position at the rear of the consist. [Information by Les Pivnic]

It was such a nice day yesterday that I cycled the long way home from work. The camera didn't catch the message on the electronic sign above the Eastbound M56 motorway, which read: 'Major incident (in) central Manchester. Long delays'. Seeing this really brought it home to me that some of the people who went to Manchester on Monday for a concert will never come home.

Product photography photos for the Tavolo folding table. Its a great patio/utility table primarily designed for apt & condo dwellers that have balconies. Outdoor patio furniture is primarily designed for homeowners with yards but apt/condo dwellers need patio furniture that can fold away and let them reclaim the small foot print of their balconies to use as they see fit. This product is in prelaunch, once it goes live, I'll include the company's web site in the description
