On your Bike

Gosh Richard! I think that tyre has seen the best of its days... And I think you got your money's worth from it

Another good ride for me today and my longest in a while

It's all coming back together now

I have just watched a bit of the Lincoln Grand Prix men's bike race. I do not know how they manage to ride so fast and so close together, over cobbles as well in parts. Some time a go I looked up average bike speeds and a 30 year old is about twice that of a 60 year old so might explain a bit of it. However, that would make them around 20 mph compared to me so there is more to it but I notice Jim was 15 mph average in the previous post and that would put them up to around 30 mph.

Yes, how they ride it is amazing Paul... And quite scary too! One wrong move and they all go down like dominoes... The cobbles just make it even more so!

A photo from the Lincoln race just after the start near the castle. There are 13 laps of a circular route so next time round they were spread out a bit.

Magic! I'll be photographing a TT race this evening and trying out a new lens

Photographing a bunch of riders like that is quite tricky, as it is a bunch of runners...

Photographing TT riders is easier as they are well distanced from each other - they start at minute intervals...
