Cheers I changed a lot of the auto setting on the camera, used manual focus it sorta shows in this one, But I know have the manual for the camara so I hopefully I can figure how to take it off auto shutter speed (it sez you can) , but dont want to turn them into still shots thou  , as for the focus blur ratio I did delete over half of them

Haha she cracks me up. cos the senior women got a head start start from us at the beginning and she took off pretty quick no doubt hoping that we wouldn't be able to catch cos she is "so fast!!!!!!!!  " but man she was not enthused when I caught her on the superhighway going up to alexandra road. she started muttering about "stupid kids who think they're good etc" hahaha. then i could hear her go up a gear and try to catch me as we crossed alexandra road but it wasn't gunna happen  (and didn't). also conners that rant you posted on page 29 was between her and my friends dad. This is the third time she has been rude like this to him and I dont think that it is acceptable because, as others have said, this is not the Olympics and that means that not every rider will have Olympic talent so if you cant accept that and have the patience to deal with it then you should just go ride somewhere else.
P.S. sorry this post has been a bit of a hctib dredge but thought I should mention the fact that all 3 rounds she has been just as mean to friends dad as she has at this round.

Exactly. While slower riders can be a pain, it's not a race if there's no-one around. And if there's nobody on course, there would be nobody at the prize giving for them to make speeches to
That's another interesting point too - strange how the 95% of the riders who aren't on the podium know exactly who the other 5% are. Worth thinking about as you hctib and moan your way around all day and then stand up in front of us all to take a bow

Don't be sorry. Every horror story I've heard today has made me feel like it was worth bringing up.

Ricky at the start, on his way to a 3rd place. Carl Patton, Jonty, ThingOne and DaveAldred must be up the road already (not sure about any others...)

the only photo Dad took without me in it! He's watched enough cycling in the last while to know that this was pretty out of the ordinary...

Hey mate. Sounds like you were going pretty quick up the climbs to run into moaning minnie. Just noticed from checking your gallery that you can also do all the mad jumps and wotnot. Bloody good for you mate. Good allrounded stuff. Are you John Tomac's lovechild?
