The new time trial system is a great piece of work by Kim and a big step forward from the Organisator's point of view. Instead of multiple people with stopwatches and bits of (often soggy) paper the whole thing can be run by one person with absolute accuracy. It also makes great use of the old Dell tablet we've had for some years, displaying not only the next rider's countdown but the names of the next five riders so you can check the line coming up.

So a big thanks to all the time-triallees on Saturday for being most un-BHPC and getting themselves in number order to make the new system work so well. Clap

Miles Peacock was there on Saturday and took a load of great pics from both races. Have a look here...

Some amazing photos there, thanks.  Geoff also put a post up this morning with a link to his great photos, but the post has disappeared - link is here: (Geoff just let me know if this needs to be removed for some reason)

Thanks Russ!  I saw David roaming around during the slow race and using his camera but not sure if that was for stills or video. There were other photographers there too on Saturday so if there's any more photos or videos found out there, please share them.

That one of Erin giving a thumbs up deserves to be in the magazine, I reckon.

Miles has told me that we're free to use his pics for the magazine or website and if we need higher res versions or unedited ones we can ask him for them. He told me he only does this as a hobby and likes to be able to provide a record of the day for everyone should they wish it. What a great bloke!

Great video David! Thanks very much for sharing. If we need an official BHPC event videographer, you've got my vote!

I've just been contacted by another photographer that was at Preston on the Saturday and Alistair has kindly allowed me to share the following link:


There's some great images in there and you're welcome to download them but he tells me that they won't be there indefinitely, so best to have a look sooner rather than later.
