Great pics Paul.

Good to meet you yesterday.

My pics are all rubbish, well at least the riding shots are.

I'll pop a few up on here once a upload them somewhere.

Gawd, i'm so tired now and didn't even ride.

Credit to all those that did.

Cracking weekend!

Hi Sharki, aye great walking round with you, you didn't tell Jo about the "chinnage" shot? It was just a shadow - honest! Cue some photoshopping! Pit bitching is a thankless task well done that man.

I'm looking a touch over-enthusiastic in this one:

I'm glad someone got a photo of the new "active camoflage" paintjob on my Chameleon.

Enjoy getting into the Strobist stuff! CLS is a good backup, but there are more reliable triggers out there.

Digiphotoneil - aye, first time I've used the CLS in "anger" (had practised on my kids!) and quickly realised I couldn't really put the flashes where I wanted. Saving now for PW's! Also realised how much thought the pros must put into getting good action shots!

That's Twinkly Dave on a Ragley TD-1. (2nd soloist)

Definitely a 29er ๐Ÿ™‚

The front wheel looks like a 26 though! I saw a few 29ers, they are probably ideal on that course.
