It was freezing first things this morning here. Now it is a beautiful day for cycling. No rain which is gooood as it makes things too slippery.

Sorry, I had problems today with the forum and I couldn't see that the pictures had already been posted. I hope you like this one

Those pics can't be posted too often.

I believe I can flyyy......

Mattlocked · October 14, 2012 12:05 pm

I like how he thought to wear his T-shirt for the event over his other layers. ( Makes him easier to spot in the crowd of cyclists, too. )

I love the one where he's putting stuff in Adam Ackland's backpack, he looks so adorkable, haha.

And the high-five with the kid is too cute. I love Ben with kids/babies. I know he wants a family; can you imagine how cute all the pics would be of him with his kids?! My ovaries would explode.

Found this video on Tumblr - dailymotion knows what we wanna see!

BB, can you start leaving the post you're responding to (at least in part) in your posts? You often post like this, with no reference to what you're reacting to, and I'm lost. This is such an active thread, with lots of different photos and comments put up almost simultaneously, it's hard to know what's what, if we don't leave each other clues (like a packet of bread crumbs, lol). Thanks.

As for his hair color, I don't think anyone has seen it in a good, long while. These photos from Ghent look very natural to me-- the color matches his eyebrows, etc. Obviously, for Sherlock, they take him darker, and then that awful gross orangey-red-blond they made him for War Horse and a couple of other roles around that time, that wasn't his hair color either. I don't think he's particularly red. He has described his hair as auburn, which to me, is much more brown with reddish overtones/highlights than red (what the Brits call ginger, I guess) or brassy blond. Just my take on that. As I said, I don't think anyone's seen natural!Ben for a while-- would we know it if we saw it? *g* We'd sure have fun looking, as we know very well.

A group hug to everyone who posted the photos and video of Ben's bike race today. Yum. That was fun, looking through all that. I thought it was very nice of him to wear shorts-- far as I could tell, he was the only one with bare legs. It was nice to see him at ease and having a good time for a good cause.

Great video! Thank you for the link!
BC seems to be in good spirits telling jokes to other cyclists.

Today is a little bit chilly in my office, so when I saw a picture of him wearing shorts with bare legs I froze to the utmost .

A hot bath and a nice message afterwards should do the trick.

QuiteExtraordinary · October 15, 2012 6:22 pm

Well done, donors and cyclists. Give me five.

SusiGo · October 15, 2012 6:33 pm

I love the PBS pics.

tobeornot221b · October 15, 2012 6:38 pm

And now for something completely different:

QuiteExtraordinary · October 15, 2012 7:02 pm

Is that pilot Sherlock playing drunk or pilot Sherlock being drugged?

besleybean · October 15, 2012 7:04 pm

Pilot Sherlock drugged I think.

tiharoa · October 15, 2012 7:23 pm

I know, time to move on, but I love his smile.
