the two guys on the bmx & kid's mtb were killing it all day. Overtook plenty of people on geared bikes; fair play to them.

How many singulars did you spot RD? They're starting to look a bit common place. There must've been at least 5 of them at the WRT last weekend... don't remember seeing an Orange 5 though...

all uploaded now http://www.flickr.com/photos/rocketdog/sets/72157626885220314/
photos taken at the Bristol Bike Festival, Ashton Court 4/6/11

you should be able to download the pics if you see yourself or one that you like

if you think the pic is worth anything, please paypal gift the amount to rocketdoguk@gmail.com just to cover the costs of fuel etc. but there's absolutely no obligation, if you just want to take the pic that's cool as i'm only an amateur not a pro (as you can tell from the pics!) i've done this for all the race pics i've taken over the past three years and have so far received £0.00 😀

[b]if you do download a pic please leave a comment on the picture's page it's always cool to get feedback[/b]

some of my favs

I was going to wear JUST the mankini, but my 'bits' would have spilt everywhere - not a good look....
Plus, there were kids about!

Keep performing like that and maybe Sam'll give you your next frame for free?!

I saw you rOcKeTdOg, but looks like your camera didn't see me. Good pics of a great event though, cheers.

you should be able to download the pics if you see yourself or one that you like

I think I may be being thick but how do you download them? Awesome pics by the way nice to see a bit of variation in the locations they were shot from rather than the obligatory camp out in one spot type affair.

heh wouldn't that be nice (though I'd settle for a new top...Sam? 😉 ).

Rocketdog, have sent a donation your way. Some of the pics have download disabled. These two for example (unless I'm being an idiot...which is entirely possible)...

don't suppose rocketdog or anyone else has a photo of me at the finish? I was the last person across the line before 9pm. I was riding a silver Yeti 575 with double vision. Would love a picture of me as it was quite a memorable moment.

Thanks to all those who screamed, clapped and shouted on my last lap.

pics should be ok to download now the ones in the "singulars at BBF" had different permissions to the "bristolbikefest" set

Ian Gillam at the top right of the pic is an + button to enlarge, click it and you should go to the view on black option, then click view all sizes and choose which to download

alternatively just right click on the pic and you should get a choice of sizes to download...oh and yea, i like quirky angles, but get a bit worried i'm going to startle riders by being behind trees etc!

Hurray, I'm hero of the day! That's never happened before! Thanks for the photo Rocketdog.

There were four of us, riding all four silly bikes. We raised over £1000 for Macmillan Cancer Support. Thanks to anyone who donated or sponsored us.

I was looking for 222, Ti soda with delectable pink highlights rider in black with lime green Oakleys 😉 borrowed the wife's bike, but couldnt find one.
Nice photo set though, enjoyed it. Don't fancy the course today though in all that rain!

Thanks for the pic.
No results up yet, but I think I was 5th solo singlespeed with 21 laps.
More importantly, I beat KingTut.

If anyone was riding the singletrack and could hear heckling from behind along the lines of "Hey mate, you're doing really well. You're almost as fast as a veteran on a singlespeed 29er". That was me. 😛

Someone fired a very well timed flash at me as I was going over one of the little drops on the course and I'd like to see the photo... 130, light blue top - but have no idea who the photographer was!

Great seeing everyone's pics 🙂 monkeyboy like the dead stuff interspersed with pics from a bike race 😉
