I went down to the Scott 24Hr this morning to wish some friends of mine well and to take some images...

This race, formerly known as the Mont 24hr is a great spot for action photography, with one real down side... DUST... I'm not looking forward to checking for dust bunnies :)

Got lots of keepers from this one so I will break it up in parts...

This was all shot on Sigma! ;) Both the 10-20 and the 70-200...
This first batch was D70+Sigma10-20+CP+Sb-80DX

The crowds this year were even bigger than last year, this is, after all, aparently the largest MTB event in the world

Some people were protesting the ACT government's descision to close several schools in the region

AND THERE OFF! The crush in the front of the first pack to leave... these guys are the solo riders... yes thats right 24 hours of going round and round...
nutters...

Sorry for OT: Is anyone going to the Gong ride this yr?

Good shots Scott. Notice the guitar slinger in the first shot - does he busk as he rides? Cheers, Mick :) :) :)
