A photo from our daughter Louise, taken yesterday at the village of Witham on the Hill, south Lincolnshire.
They didn't know there was cycle racing on when they decided on a trip to this attractive village, but there was a full day of competition, organised by Bourne Wheelers Cycling Club. In the morning the juniors and women raced over a 76km/47 mile route - 4.5 laps of a country circuit. In the afternoon the men raced over a 150km/82 mile route - 8.5 laps over the same circuit as the morning race.
This shot shows two of a large group of cyclists in the mens race passing through the village, where there is a sharp right turn followed by a sharp left.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated. Louise will be pleased to see how her photo was assessed by you.
For several years, we were fortunate to have some excellent cycling events in Yorkshire. First there were two stages of the Tour de France in 2014, followed by the Tour de Yorkshire for several years, and they provided some great photo opportunities. Long periods of waiting followed by a few seconds of frantic activity to capture photos as each group of cyclists passed. It was quite a challenge, and great fun!
