GVC riders make good use of gravity.....

Helpfully, my first job on Sunday morning wasn't too early as we all lost an hour in bed because of the clock changing to Summer Time.

So it was actually a nice relaxed start to the day as I headed off to photograph the Guernsey Velo Club's Adventure Cycles Enduro Gravity downhill racing at Talbot Valley. This was ROUND 1 of the 2026 Series.

It was a busy morning for the Riders (and the photographer} as the racing was spread over three different courses. After each run there was a climb back up the steep slopes to return to the start-line.

The challenge for me was to try and be on the right course at the time the racing was happening... and then trying to be in the best place for an action shot too! Sometimes it is difficult - even dangerous - to move whilst the track is 'live' so some forward planning and a good recce is always a good idea.

By the time I had to move on to my next job I'd been able to capture some good action shots and they are now online. Click the link if you are interested:
