OK, finally here are a few images from the Scott 24 hour race last weekend.
I took over 400 images, and have posted a few 500 pixel wide uncropped pics here:

into the dust

Gordon, nice captures..Interesting to see one of the riders with a dusk masks - he has done this before. Was this a team event or individual?
First one is a classic.

Thanks BigV. Lots of riders wore dust masks, you will see that any many mtb races around closed courses when its dry. I find it difficult to breathe hard though them myself.
With over 3000 riders and no rain before the event, this year was always going to be seriously dusty. Last year it was extremely muddy and boggy.

The event has heaps of categories, solo open, solo 40+, pairs, muskateers, fours, sixes, all in mens, women's and mixed... but no mixed for the solo classes There is also a corporate 10s, and school teams too.

Great shots here. The last one really gives you perspective on the dust. Must have been gross.

Nice jump shots - you had a good spot!

Hi Gordon,

I'll join Willy Wombat with his comments.
Wish the dust cloud disappeared ,
cough, sneeze ...,
have to clean my desk now

Cheers,
