I would say great pics but for the fact I look like I'm about to kill someone (not just nearly myself)!! Thankfully I'm not the only one!

Brilliant photographs Ed. I was certainly feeling as bad as I look at that point!

Thanks for the comments :D

Suppose a small donation for files to a charity of the clubs choice, how does that sound?

Any suggestions?

Well the cycling hasn't paid much for the past couple of years, so may give it a go...

In the interests of transparency I should disclose that my wife, Jacky, works on the Cancer Unit at BCH. But, it is a good cause. It's every bit as good as Gt Ormond Street but gets a fraction of the publicity and and even smaller fraction of charitable donations.

Great set of photos, Ed, you picked your spot really well, the riders just spring off the background very nicely. Now you've used the 1DX for the hill climb photos I suppose that you don't really have any further need for a camera like the 1DX so instead of giving me back the 30p you owe me I'll just have the camera. CHEERS. And why not donate the 30p to Neil's chosen charity.
I've been sincerely endorsed by Edward Moss and Philip Whiteman and Andy Terry as being a real credit to the club.
