Ashdown sufferin'

A few sneaky pics from Phil O C

Demonic descending from Keith

A touring bike is clearly slowing this rider down

Wait all winter for the sun to shine then get caught with my glasses off

This is hurting

But not so much as this

Them's great pictures, Huw. How did you capture them like that - or do you and Phil have an understanding?

Couldn't help but notice there's five pics of you on the same part of the road - Phil must have had 'shoot & select' pressed down! :lol:

Great shot of Mark in pain :lol: .
A proper bike for a reliability ride in January Huw! Good training too, not many others bothered lugging a rack up the climbs did they :wink: .
I did think about putting a pannier on Paul just to please you but probably a good idea to leave it behind or the dangerous twins from Medway Velo would probably have tried to get in it :roll: .

Yeah we have an understanding - He sends me a cd of the entire shoot at magazine spread quality for the feature (next week's CW I think) - those are just thumbnails.
He keeps the motordive winding cos he knows that at any moment I might throw up/crash/have a paddy and throw the bike in the weeds - actually I didn't even see him at that point I was trying so hard, which is why I got caught with the glasses off :(

Snoop - good work on the LCS site

LOL. I was just thinking of the panier episode in France when I saw your pic. Could have carried ACC sarnies in it and then distributed at the end like a true professional club.....

Medway seems to have a lot to answer for....sneaking in without paying, elbows out, mannic descending and then slowing (gulp) Jon H down.....

Great write ups from all contributors. Glad (in my current state of unfitness) that I didn't do it, but enjoyed the read.
