The pic of Emily Batty give me the goose bump, but not for what most of perv on here thinks 😉 Kuddos to her to ride through pain like that.
What shoes is she wearing btw I like the colour..?
All with my Nikon D70s and 18-70....

[i]Advantages are less chance of pinch flats as the rim profile is different, ability to run way lower pressures, ability to still ride on a flat tyre.
[/i]
So only advantage over tubeless, like what us normal
riders use,is weight?
Men's race should be great later, although maybe not as er, photogenic:-)

Great pics, really shows the main race which the TV coverage missed due to following the leaders. Shows a lot more of the terrain and technical bits as well. Looks like it was a stunning day out! 🙂
Full marks to Martin Salt for delivering a superb course and weekend of racing.
Thanks
Great pics of what was a great day out. Just wondered if anyone resolved the issue of why some tickets were a higher price. Having spent £45 on a ticket I'm a bit miffed to think I could have gone for the £20 tickets and had the same access. With 20,000 people there I wonder how many spent the extra £25 on the higher price ones...
wonderful pics. ta for sharing

Bit like budget air ticket prices, everyone gets the same seat, some pay £30, some pay £300 - just depends when you booked it.

That would make sense except I seem to remember that when I booked there was the option at that stage of either going for the £45 or the £20 option...
I see the price as, we discounted some tickets to £20 but most are more. I paid £45 had I bid less I might not have gone
I was planning to make a fuss about the price but as a family of 4 we paid
£117 for tickets
£12 for park and ride
£9.60 for water t reduce queing
£8 for 2 bacon rolls to top up hungry kids above picnic
I can't be bothered to add that up but a once in a life time day out for under £150. Just glad i got the chance so no complaint from me
My thoughts were, if you were willing to pay £45, there was a higher chance of getting tickets.... That's what the premium afforded...
DrP
Still great value for money at £45 and a lot cheaper than decent Stadium tickets!
Great photos. Thanks.
A few questions on technique. Quite a few girls braking with their "second" finger with their index finger jammed under the brake and thus brake levers set quite far out as a result. Alex seems to be cornering with equal weight on both feet.
Had an great day..........

uphilla, was the top one taken from Snake Hill? Quite impressive if it was even with 400mm effective lens.
Footflaps - taken from Snake Hill on first lap, heavily cropped! Surprised I got the shot I was so excited! 😳
No-one took pics of the men?
No-one took pics of the men?
Only had a ticket for Saturday 🙁 Although did photo all the men doing practice laps on Saturday morning.
DezB - MemberNo-one took pics of the men?
I shot a load of video for an Olympic experience movie I'll be putting together over the next week or two.
Thanks all for the pics, some cracking shots, Annie is awesome.
Yeah I only had tickets for the womens race too, but saying that if Id have gone yesterday would prob not have taken my main camera and would have wandered around a lot more...
