This weekend it was the Prudential London Surrey Classic bike race on Sunday. In the morning there was a hundred mile race for members of the public but in the afternoon it was over to the professional teams for a 140 mile race.
I was looking forward to watching the cyclists pass as the last time we did this was just over a year ago when we watched Bradley Wiggins speed past to collect his gold medal. The atmosphere was very similar today with roads closed and thousands of people lining the route.
I was really lucky to grab the best spot to photograph on a traffic island in the middle of Kingston Bridge! I'll be honest, last year was a steep learning curve on how to photograph fast moving people. This year was a bit more successful. I posted a set to Flickr below and another set of photos from earlier in the day from the Hampton Wick festival - unusually I had a choice of photos for today!
