Water Viewfind a blue horizon on your bike ride
Water View is an exploration quest that asks you to photograph a bicycle near a lake, river, canal, sea or another clearly visible body of water. The scene should communicate both the ride and the water without requiring a caption to explain where each element is.

The mission
How to validate Water View
What is the objective?
Reach a clear water view during the ride and include the bicycle in the photograph.
Proof
One photo is sufficient. A balanced landscape frame often gives both subjects room and avoids reducing the water to a small background strip.
Completion rule
Show enough water for the setting to be recognisable, while keeping the bike distinct from railings, vegetation or shoreline clutter.
Photo must show a bike near a lake, river, canal, sea, or other clear water view.

The context
Why try this quest?
Water changes the feel of a route: it opens the view, catches the light and often creates a natural pause. This quest gives that pause a collectible purpose.
Practical tips
- Use a shoreline, towpath or bank as a line that connects the bike to the water.
- Check reflections and glare so the water surface does not disappear into a bright sky.
- Keep the horizon level if you use a wide view.
Questions about this quest
- Which kinds of water count for Water View?
- The rule lists a lake, river, canal, sea or another clear water view.
- Can the bicycle be in the foreground?
- Yes. The bike can anchor the foreground as long as the water remains clearly visible and identifiable.
