I yield to temptation and click away.....

I admit that if I had to choose the class of Mountain Bike racing to photograph top of the list would probably be Downhill.

It's just that a photographer is always looking for the 'dynamic peak' moment of action... we aren't able to tell our story with moving pictures like a videographer. A single image has to tell a story.

So that pic needs some 'dynamic action'. At least that is the photographers dream! In the end we have to work with what we have... and sometimes we get great pics when we weren't expecting them.

So I offer my thanks to the GVC Mountain Bikers for entertaining me this morning whilst you raced the twisting circuit laid out in fields at Norgiot. This was a XC race (not a Downhill) but it still produced the 'goods' for me!

It's always a help for us 'togs when a race takes place on a circular course as we have multiple opportunities to capture our pics. The negative is that there is a temptation to take MORE (too many) pics!

So the result of this mornings MTB XC is a new gallery that features around 180 pics! You're spoilt for choice!
