Mountain Biking

Jamie taking a drop on the Isle of Wight. This sort of picture is usually
a bit of a gamble - you can't usually look through the viewfinder (partly
because the angle is too low, partly because you'd get run over), so it's
a case of guessing. Surprisingly they seem to come out more often than
not (a fairly wide angle lens helps), but this is the best I've managed.

One of the riders in the Avalache Cup, held at Morzine in September 2001.
It was pretty muddy that year, everyone was covered in wet grassy mud.

Locust dropping off near the Lac de Payolle in the Pyrenees, summer

fantastic places.

The summit of Grand Som in the Chartreuse, a summer's dawn in 1998. After
we'd enjoyed the view and the warmth of the sun for a bit, we picked up
fresh goat's cheese from the farmhouse near the summit, raced back down to
the tent - stopping only for warm, fresh baguettes on the way - and scoffed
the lot. Days don't start any better than that.

A shot (taken by Matt) of me taking the Kilauea through an S-bend in the Chartreuse.
I like this pic, because it reminds me how sweetly I rode the corner.
If only I was always that smooth.
