Well it’s been a few years since I’ve managed to get to a downhill race. Luckily my rota fell kind with round 3 of the Rose bikes sponsored British Downhill Series at a fairly local venue, Llangollen.

Downhill was where I first started taking photo’s and it was good to be back on a (bloody steep) hill with my camera again. Here’s a few shots of Saturdays practice.
