Thank goodness for the volunteers......

There's so much Sport played and organised in Guernsey that I feel the States often don't give as much support to Club's as they deserve.

However, thank goodness, there seems to be an endless supply of people who are prepared to give their time to making the multitude of Club events work... whatever the weather!

Sunday morning up at the motocross track is a good example of how the Guernsey Velo Club volunteers were up early to lay out the track for Round 1 of the Ian Brown's MTB XC Series. It was windy and muddy with heavy showers! Why do they suffer the discomforts to give others the chance to have fun?

I popped up to photograph the racing and the riders were very welcoming and remarkably they even seemed to enjoy the mud!

My photos are now online. Click the link to the gallery if you are interested:
