This rider was new to me this year, I spotted her from the first point I was on the ride. Her face beamed and she had amazing hair. By the way she rode and her bike she looked very familiar with 2 wheels and she rode with a male friend/boyfriend who looked as familiar with bikes. I thought them to perhaps be dispatch riders in the city. I shot her in 3 other locations and I believe she wasn't photographed much. This would mainly be because she/they didn't ride the whole course. They seem smart, I guess they joined the ride just after is started so no waiting around with everyone at the beginning and they peeled off the ride at the stop at lincon's inn fields avoiding all the photographers at the end. I guess they did it for the experience and I'm glad they did and hope others might give it a try too.
The last picture was her leaving the ride early. Stunning.[/QUOTE]
Thank you so much, especially for the chloted photo! They are my absolutely favorite riders this year. You can see that they are experienced cyclists by the gloves, the type of the bikes and bruises on their knees. These two photos are from the few posted on flickr and new here. Thanks to the original photographer.
