Good to see so many happy smiling faces at the top of Nunburnholme in the Sportive; some, I was told, were actually grimaces but I didn’t believe that. There were some fantastic times, in fact I wouldn’t bet on Fabian Cancellara being able to beat them for the 160 Kilometres over that course.

The pictures will appear on the gallery as soon as I can sort them out – I finished up having taken over twelve hundred photos. Not sure yet how I can arrange them and I had to make sure there was enough space for them. I still have to weed them, reduce the size and possibly crop some of them so watch this space.
