That reminds me, I've got a race in an hour. I think I'll leave work soon.

The first two are good....especially as it looks like it was a bright gary day....I like the way the riders appear to be riding directly towards you in the second shot..

I like the third of these. It shows such a sense of overcrowding and competition.
And I think that the slightly tilited aspect to it only helps this image too.

Hi there John,
Really nice colours in the last two, each time I look at them I am waiting for one to clip the other. Hell of a sport for gravel rash.

All good stuff, what we cant show in our shots of this is the rush of wind these riders create as they blow past you - yesterday very welcome in the heat..

Thanks All, yes like Tony siad the wind these riders generated was unreal and yes what a site it would be if one of the front runners came adrift, or anyone in the front of the pack. nerves of steel i think how these rider can ride bunched up without running up each others bums.
Also so with the last shot i had to hole the camera over the fence to bypass all the heads sticking over infront of me and the angle adds to the last shot. Like i siad i took many shots so just a few.
Cheers
