It's all about the bikes....

Today it's been all about the bikes... with a bit of running chucked into the mix.

An early start to the day saw me driving through a heavy hail shower as I headed to Rocquaine for the Duathlon race.

Thankfully the strong winds moved the storm clouds quickly along their way and it just the wind chill we had to tolerate as the Duathlon hit the road with the first of two runs.

Once again the ages of the competitors was spread across decades! Somehow the Duathlon format seems to bring together a random mix of people who share the same passion for endurance sports (in my eye it's a passion for PAIN!)

After capturing some action I headed off to La Pomare to photograph the Velo Club's Winter MTB Cross Country. I was pleased that the early start to the day meant that I was still in time to photograph some of the Junior races. These pics will make a nice addition to the MTB Galleries.
