Well done for sticking it out. The London heat was something else, and organisation was nonexistent. People got lost all over the place as there was none of the usual slowing to allow tail enders to catch up. It was almost like a race. Waterloo Bridge would have been great if only the riders hadn't been both sides of the barrier.

I meant I already knew was not allowed to shoot the painting area from the outside, one of the organizers came over and commented I'm only the 2nd photographer who he met
About your other points I fully agree, for both rides were a shit show in regard to the running of the events
but the police escort in Brighton did help keep the group together as a rule
