Manchester Velodrome Revolution 26
Saturday the 5th of December found me back at the Velodrome in Manchester taking picture for the guys who bring us the Revolution Race Series.
Coupled with this I had a commision for a few shots for a National newspaper to be taken at about 7 pm and to be with them for 8pm. No pressure then.
Anyway the evening went smoothly. Good to see some old friends there, and of course to see some of the stars of cycling in action.
A full report on the evenings racing can be found at the Revolution website.
One of my favourites from the night.
Bradley Wiggins and Craig MacLean
Ride Journal
A recent commision for The Ride journal.
“Please could we have a cyclo-cross picture of Nick Craig for issue 3.” Yep no problem, I replied. Unfortunately the week they wanted it, all the weather wanted to do was tip rain down upon our village.
At the eleventh hour Nick and I headed out in the pouring rain with lots of plastic bags to keep the flashes and camera dry, to capture this shot.
Not your traditional cyclo-cross pose granted, but back in the day Nick used to train for the Three Peaks Cyclo-Cross in the evening after work by doing reps with his bike over his shoulder up a similar hill on the other side of the valley.
