Bikeress

This is Francie about to tackle the ride up steep Bluff Hill for this race. She has been in the BMC each year and does most of the different races. Hill Climb, Beach, Circuit and Road. Tough lady!

Three good things:
1. Bought some neat kitchen things from the Hardware Store where the many bikes are displayed. Like a can opener and a sink tidy.
2. Internet has improved - they had a problem.
3.My foot slipped down a steep muddy bank and the thought swiftly passed through my mind, I'm going to sit on my bum! I did but no injury!

Great capture of this brave woman.

[Cally]

I love the capture of the characters in the background too, especially the kilted chap with his strangely positioned sporran and bright socks!

[julia]

Great shot Maggie, but I want to see more of that knobbly knee'd Scotsman...

[Maggiemae]

@julzmaioro He was one of a pair of odd Scotsman - the other one looked like a marauder from the North of Scotland!

[Phil Cameron]

great image ,love the bike and leathers (lady biker too ) spotted jock in his kilt instantly
Fav Maggie

[Tony]

Looks like a cold day, great shot of that lady biker.

[Maggiemae]

@philcameron59 He had a wild beard too, Phil!

[Maggiemae]

@julzmaioro I think he must have been a biker - the plastic cast on his knee meant that I expect!

[Jen Hudson]

She looks great and must be strong to handle the bike. Nice capture with the background legs too!

[Terry]

What a thrill

[Pat Knowles]

My eye was immediately drawn to the kilt & injured knee too maggiemae.....that beard is amazing & it's blowing in the wind! I hope she roared past all the guys!

[Maggiemae]

@happypat It was timed, Pat - they do it one at a time. Haven't got the results yet. She doesn't win much but never gives up!

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae well it's not the winning.........

[Gillian]

Your focus is spot on! Fabulous capture! And composition.

[Leana Niemand]

Great shot Maggie, it looks like winter is still with you.

[Maggiemae]

@leananiemand Forecasting snow and hail tomorrow, Leana! Oh, to be in Havana!

[KWind]

Nice shot! I like the bright colours.

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

Even from the little bit of face we can see through her helmet, she looks like she is full of life and quite a character!

[Daisy Miller]

Great capture. She does look full of life!
