An interesting days racing which ended up in perfect dry conditions, even if the route change was a bit of a kerfufle. Almost everyone made it around the course safely - and you will be glad to know that we did get a photo of the vehicle that pulled out on the roundabout sending someone diverting into the kerb - the police now have the numberplate :-)

The results and times are all up on the Galeforce Events website here and a big well done to Steve and his team for another great event.
Comments, discussion and Race chat are on the tri-talk website here.

Here's a small selection of the pictures from the >15000 now on the gallery - we have gone through them all manually with a fine toothed comb trying to read the backs of hands, helmet numbers in the distance, and flappy race numbers (you can guess the rest) to make it easy for you to find your pictures. Please please please read the instructions on the gallery page - there is a how to tips on there - all about swim cap colours and everything.

You will see that Mike was trying to get the Cardington Airship hangars into the background on a lot of his bike shots - if ever there is a landmark that says Bedford - it's those things !

Sorry if there is a lot of you having to go through the seaches for no numbers on the bikes, or on the run - but with the best will in the world - if we can't see a number - we can't catalogue you. When you do find your pictures - make sure you use the caption correction link under the image to tell us what the right race number is - because once we have corrected it you can find it again easily - and have it included on your CD ! If you find images incorrectly catalogued on your searches - then please tell me - so we can correct them so that the right person gets a chance to find them - thank you.

So here's a few more pictures - from first across the line to the last prizegiving photo. Don't forget to go to the gallery to check out yours, and your friends and teammates...and the bling bikes too...

So I hope you all enjoyed this years BTF National Age-Group Championships - All over for another year - special congratulations to the overall Bedford Classic winners (above) and everyone who helped to make it another special event on the race calendar.

Until next time,
Anthony
