The Tour de France in the Pyrenees – 2015
[A ridiculously large number of photos means this page will be slow to load. Best viewed on a nice big monitor rather than your phone.] Although I’ve been to see the Tour de France a number of times, I’d never really been to see the race in the mountains before. Well, that’s not entirely true.…

Dunwich Dynamo
The Dunwich Dynamo is the stuff of legend. Well sort of. It began in 1993 when some cycling messengers organised a fun-ride to the Suffolk coast. It’s now turned into a big turn-up-and-ride event taking place in July over the closest Saturday/Sunday night to a full moon. Everyone meets in London Fields and then heads…

Electric Storm
I love a good electric storm, and we had one in London last night (indeed most of the country). I pounced into action with photo, audio and video. That said, I’m not altogether happy with my results. The above represents the best photo I took. There are a couple of video frame grabs below, but…

Tour de Yorkshire 2015
I spent a couple of days of the Bank Holiday weekend up in Yorkshire watching the cycling. This was the first outing of the Tour de Yorkshire, and you can only see it improving – at least if Yorkshire is willing to go on funding it (they’ve signed a 10 year deal with ASO). A…

Paris – Roubaix 2015
When I visited Gent six weeks or so ago, it was to see the city and take in a little bit of cycling. Hence I got to watch Omloop Het Nieuswblad and Kuurne Brussels Kuurne. The former was a more interesting race and I duly found a nice bit of a cobbled ‘berg to view…

Pavé
This weekend sees the Tour of Flanders, and next weekend is Paris – Roubaix. Since it’s been a while since I last did some screen printing, I thought I’d try to make a print based on the cobbled classics. I’m quite pleased with the results, but I thought I’d run through my process. I actually…

The Unthanks at The Roundhouse
I went to see The Unthanks yesterday at The Roundhouse in Camden. For no obvious reason, and having been to see an exhibition at Tate Modern first (Conflict, Time – I only found it so-so to be honest), I decided to walk to Camden for the concert, taking photos as I went. Here are a…

Kuurne Brussels Kuurne 2015
If Omloop Het Nieuwsblad is for the tough guys of the peleton, then Kuurne Brussels Kuurne is a sprinters’ race. The two come together over the last weekend of February or the first weekend of March, although they seem to have different promoters. That also possibly explains why no broadcaster took the more exciting Het…

Omloop Het Nieuwsblad 2015
With a couple of days holiday to use up before the end of February, and not being too certain where to go, a friend suggested that Ghent was nice. I’d never been, and then I realised that if I did go, it’d be in time for the “Opening Weekend” of the Spring Classics – the…

View from the Shard
To the 34th floor of The Shard and the Shangri La Hotel where a friend is having a party. A great night but a challenge to get good photos from. I knew that the internal lights of the glass would cause horrible reflections inside, so to try to combat it, I arrived with a piece…

Revolution – Round 1
In my ongoing quest to get through all the photos I’ve previously taken and been sitting on, we reach this October 2014 event – the first round of the UK track competition, Revolution. To put this in perspective, they’ve just had Round 4. And it’s coming back to London in a few weeks, so I…
