Had a fantastic day at the Wallingford festival of cycling.
National men's junior road race hitting a hairpin.....
Elite men's criterium race in the town centre.....
Met a guy called Bob, this curly-stayed Hetchins has been in his family's ownership since new in 1956, with Chater-Lea, GB, Benelux and Normandy components.....
The penny farthing club had a race. Some of them were in full-on racing mode, but the guy in the second photo was playing to the crowd by taking a drink from a spectator on every lap.....
This is what coming fourth in a penny farthing race reduces a man to, begging for liquid refreshment outside a bar. Well deserved after 5k.....
I ended up riding this as fast as I dared round the crit circuit at the end of the day, great fun!
