Tour of Bright - They are all Done

Well to your first question, why do your pics take so long?

EVERY PIC FROM EVERY STAGE IS NOW HERE (PRESENTATIONS WILL BE DONE AT A LATER DATE........... :))

Hightlights from HOTHAM
Highlights from the TIME TRIAL
Highlights from the START

Quick answer - I came home from Bright, ON MONDAY NIGHT with over 3000 images. I edit them and make sure they look pretty, most are quick, but some take extra time. I have to upload them and this is SLOOOOOOWWW.   For example -  I have 300 images uploading and I go out, if the internet drops out for say 30 seconds, then my upload stops, I get home 4 hours later, I might find that only a handful uploaded....

It is Frustrating but now they are done I hope you enjoy looking at them and they are worth the wait.

They are all for sale, if you have any questions at all email me on judithdove@bigpond.com

I am happy to discuss any requests, just email me and let me know what you are after.

Just as you all train and race and it is a long process, it was also a marathon effort not just for me but other photographers who were there at the race. We all got some good shots.

Tawonga is loading tonight and although I took pics at presentations, they are not a priority to get on the web...........Translated means I have to leave this for a few days and catch up on other things.

Tawonga provided a lot of sweat....I have never seen so much sweat.....There was only 800m to get to the finish.

Tawonga - CONQUERED!

"Stay True" on the knuckles.......may be a way to race faster!

Geoff Thompson, had a fall a few months ago, but couldn't stay away from the race......he is Geoff "everywhere"...usually on the bike though not as a bystander. Here he is with his daughter Sarah.

Ross Hodgson tows Justin Mollison to the line but was outsprinted at the finish. :( 

This guy had walked from Mt Beauty to Tawonga on the trails with his owner
