Hi Cathy,
certainly was difficulty finding Lance in the main pack and the bright overhead sun produced some harsh shadows so you did well getting a shot.
I was there with the rest of the forum guys at the Nth Tce end so sorry we didn't catch up - I'm looking at my efforts a the moment so will post something shortly
Cheers

Hi Deb,
Tom and I didnt even get there until about 1:45, and thought we wouldn't find a spot, but we did - awesome place in the shade, looking around a bend as the guys rode up the hill near the golf course. How crowded was it where you were? I got a few other nice shots but I have reached my Flickr limit for the month!

Looks like you did well.
The panning shots look particularly good.

I've just posted some of my shots.

Hi Cathy,
I got there around 11 with Daniel, Fozzie Tony & John and we staked out some ground at the end of the start/finish where they do the U turn back up King William Rd ..and yes it got crowded and we had to fight off a few people ..
funny thing is our shots are probably very similar I have amatching set to those Daniel has just posted ...so at least yours are original
catch up again soon

Love the first pic! Great capture of Lance in the pack!
