Today I went out for a rural sunset, after a bit a light unfortunately a large layer of clouds blocked the real colors. However, this shot was on the way. I couple of weeks agoI racebiked past this pumping station (gemaal) and like the setting a lot.
Hope you have a great weekend and many thanks for your favs, comments and views :-)
Ant West EAB Antwest Racing Kawasaki ZX-6R I think he wished he saw this sky going over Luke Heights 🤔
I didn't have a micro-bike, so I quickly made one, out of wire scraps.
One could argue that the bike isn't fully functional, but you can't deny the weight is down to a bare minimum...
(the size of the visible part is just shy of 7.5cm)

April, 15 - Exploring the Cobblestones of Hell.
Quarantined for days because of corona. He has not raced since Gent-Wevelgem on April 27. And only be able to explore 'hell' a few days before the race. There are more reasons to not assign the Belgian champion WOUT VAN AERT as a favorite than that there are cobblestone sections in Paris-Roubaix on Sunday, April 17. But whatever his Jumbo-Visma team tries, all eyes – including those of the peloton – will be on him again.
He would have lost his top form. Not be a candidate for victory. It is quite possible that he acts as a 'helper' for teammates Christophe Laporte, Mike Teunissen and Nathan Van Hooydonck (picture). They have done everything at Jumbo-Visma to temper expectations about van Aert...

ALFONSINA STRADA (born Alfonsina Morini) (1891-1959) is the only female cyclist to ever compete in the Giro d'Italia (1924). She was married to the cyclist Luigi Strada.
Before Alfonsina started in the Giro, she had already won 36 races. This had not escaped to the attention of organizer Emilio Colombo - director of the newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport - inviting her to ride the 1924 Giro. The big teams didn't start*, but a female participant would again give enough attention to the biggest cycling event in Italy. Newspapers called her "The Devil in a dress".
The Giro was run over 12 stages and a distance of 3,613 km. In the end, Alfonsina finished 20 hours behind winner Giuseppe Enrici. The last stages, however, she rode out of competition, because she arrived late in one stage. The organizer thought of his newspaper and at his expense she rode on alone. She was so popular that she made more money than the overall winner Enrici.
In 1925 she wanted to start again, but she faced too much opposition from her male colleagues. They thought she was getting too much attention. She then went on to develop her cycling art as a variety act in Paris, where she made a name for herself as a "kangaroo woman". She rode along a steep wall, flipped over like on a roller coaster, and made a giant leap fifty feet through the air.
After the death (1946) of Luigi Strada, she remarried to the mechanic and cycling masseur Carlo Messori, with whom she started a racing bike shop in Milan. She passed away suddenly in 1959. (wikipedia)
*Several important riders, including Costante Girardengo, Gaetano Belloni and Giovanni Brunero refused to ride the 1924 edition in a dispute with the teams over start money.

Nightride with my road bike on the Gurten, with the lights of Bern behind.
Strobist info: Metz 52 from camera right, triggered with Yongnuo 622 wireless transmitters.
This is another shot from a roll of Ilford HP5, taken on my little Canon EOS 650 with its period 35-70 zoom. Film was developed in Atomal 49.
The rider is Mike Norbury from Manchester.
This location has a fairly low success rate even on a quick digital, so in my mind this image is really quite satisfying. This little camera produces great images when coupled to one of my modern Canon EF digital lenses.
