It's all go... at the second attempt!

When I opened my front door early on Sunday morning my instinct was to go straight back to bed.

You see, the thick fog that lay across the fields triggered a feeling of déjà vu. I was on my way to photograph a Guernsey Velo Club Road Race on their Reservoir circuit but I could recall this race being called off before due to fog and poor visibility.

But I was obliged to pop along... just in case the race was to go ahead.

However, of course, inevitably when I arrived at the start-line the riders were already packing up to leave! Race off!

Luckily I had a Plan B. I was also booked to move on after covering the Road Race. My next assignment was at Rocquaine for the first Duathlon race of the year... but would that also fall victim to the weather?

The only way to know was to drive down... through the fog!

Thankfully my early start to the day wasn't a complete waste of time as the Guernsey Triathlon Club officials judged the conditions safe along the coast road cycle route and it was a green light to go!

So with cameras at the ready I captured a gallery of action photos. They are now online here:
