My two favourite pastimes…

I raced at the Marin Dusk till Dawn mountain bike race at the weekend.  Some may say I’m crazy as I opted to compete as a solo rider – 12 hours riding as many laps as I can around a 10 mile course.  After all the riding I’ve done this year I was surprised at the physical toughness of the course and how much I fell apart after the laps mounted up.  I was wrecked at the finish, but I did manage 9 laps and a reasonable 50th place.  I’m happy; and I’m recovering!!

The photographers on site had a real challenge – night time racing – really really bright lights and moving subjects.  Not easy.  Joolze Dymond was shooting on behalf of the organisers and the BCF and she had some creative approaches to her shots.  I approve.
