Thanks for suffering the terrible weather guys (both riders and snappers
) but it really does seem to have put a downer on the event (just like Brighton WNBR) this year.
The riders really do not radiate the 'I am naked in front of 1000's of people' feeling that a warm sunny day (think London WNBR 2011) that I really find so attractive. Despite the smiles, I get 'how soon can I cover up and get warm again', which is totally understandable. There were also quite a few really 'ugly' paint jobs on super bodies too, perhaps they asked for an extra coat
Wonderful event, all the same!
