To those who haven’t checked the blog for a while, take the time to scroll down (past this post) to important posts and notices below.
Sorry all that the pictures are late. Doing this gives you an appreciation of the workload that goes into a professional photographer’s day. Not only do they have to take the pictures hanging off a motorcycle, but they have to download them onto their computer, apply any retouching to cropping and exposure, edit the content, upload to the website with a caption. Having to work seems to put a barrier on playing with the toys.
Having the gear that works is the minimum requirement. Not only does pro stuff look cool, but it often is quite weatherproof, and got more settings to allow the camera to adjust for one’s own inadequacies (photographic I mean).
Thanks to Chuck for driving around the course to catch up with the riders, allowing for more variety in the action. It was almost looking like a long walk back for a time (must remember to keep all your batteries charged Chris). In all a dreary day turned into an exciting one with good racing and spectating – well worth the trip down.
Le Kuan
Jarrad showing how to get Aero. The girls paying special attention.
Brendan oiling up with eucalyptus – Gives the legs a shine on the podium. Either that or he was putting on perfume to attract the koalas.
Steve doesn’t look too confident as to the integrity of his bars. I wonder why? Cheap, Lightweight, Strong – choose one.
Got to get the legs pumping like this on the road. Try to keep it up for another hour.
Anna showing us how PRO you can look.
Davina doesn’t look too fussed the roads are wet. Going to bolt on the rear disk now and tear up the road.
Feeling the need for speed. The Fynn would be proud of all that wind.
Now that looks fast. A lady on a mission
Everyone on for the start? Some teams missed theirs and paid for it dearly. Losing time off the road still counts on the results.
The boys are off! Go SPR!
You won’t be laughing like that in a few minutes boys.
Looking like an organised team. Make sure you keep it up on the road.
I took this one to show my wife. You think I spend a lot on my bikes? Where’s my credit card?
Team John/John a picture of concentration of the task at hand.
Yet another wave of SPR green. Note, Ryan is not the only one with dodgy green knicks on a Cannondale.
Show us how it’s done Bruce
If I look fast, I’ll go fast
These guys are pro – they even have a support vehicle! Note to Pete – need to get more sponsorship.
Give us a smile for the camera Lisa!
The girls showing us the dry line.
Don’t lean on the bars too much Steve.
Ouch that has to hurt. Full points for persistance.
A proud sight. The SPR marquis. Today Pinjarra, tomorrow the Worlds!
Out of gas. You know you’ve given it all.
Gritty determination. Determined to drop your own teammate?
Channel your inner Jens Voigt
All clear guys, safe to procede. Snuggles is behind.
It’s all about the look. And he looks like he loves the pain. He’s got that Contador look actually.
Quick, we don’t want to get dropped!
Follow my lead – this is how it’s done.
Got to look good for the camera, boys.
