Met up with Fozzie at the pedal prix on sunday, overcast day but plenty to see. 150 participants, so a large turn out.. We got a 2nd, 3rd and a 6th, so a very good result.

Congrats to the team and congrats to you for some nice shots. The pan shot really gives the idea of how fast these guys can get to. Pitty about the weather but you have done well.

Daniel, he was being creative!! He had attached a video camera to a ladder and had a back pack as a counter weight. He was able to reach over the barrier and follow the bikes. Very inventive.. One other guy put his video camera in a remote controlled car and follwed the bikes down the main straight at the start to get some really interesting footage..got to love the kids thinking outside of the square..
