Where to start ? such a busy weekend we're behind on everything here in the office, including the planning for next weekend, who gave Tony the week off eh ? - but I digress !
Here's a link to June's race galleries - which you will see has been pretty packed full of action
Specifically last weekend we saw the following races and events and some don't have a public gallery, but you can go to the website to find out more:
Within all this business - on the bright side, I have a new desktop background, which I've put here on full resolution if you would like one too. It's about 46miles into the Race to the King on the SDW. Just click on the image to see it full size and then download it to your computer.
I'm minded to take some nicer landscapes for you to use over the next few weeks - let me know if you'd like some !
Also, whilst we were researching locations for the Race to the Kings, we discovered that a)there's been no google streetmapping of the SDW (South Downs Way) - they had the kit from google, but it didn't really work, but also b)you can use the google streetview app with certain 360 degree cameras and create and contribute your own streetviews !
So as part of our own interests (for race planning) and to put something back into the local area, we're going to do much more research and possibly invest in the kit to do this sort of thing and then hopefully be able contribute to the SDW area streetview data - which I know a lot of the events that take place along it will benefit from greatly.
Meanwhile at the Leeds Castle triathlon races

So that's it for this week, next weekend if you want to get your celebrity fix, there's a VIP running the Bewl 15 apparently on Sunday, otherwise we have the village fun run here in Hurstpierpoint - scene of one of the olderst fairs in the world - at over 700 years. There's entry on the day, and it goes up wolstonbury hill - which is "a bit of a challenge". Race limit is 200 - so get in there !
http://www.stlawrencefair.org.uk/events/fun-run/ (be aware of village road closures). I did very badly last year, and unfortunatley won't be doing it this year - due to other fair commitments...
until next time, don't get too wet in the rain,
Anthony
