That grand institution, the Tour de Presteigne, took place again over the 10-11th May weekend. The oldest established and biggest festival of electric bikes has expanded to accommodate all sorts of vehicles with a Green Wheels section. Among the four wheeled vehicles on show was a concept mockup of the new Morgan hydrogen fuelled car. The usual suspects were also there; 50 Cycles, Cytronex, Electric Mountain Bikes, Ezee bikes and now OnBike, Presteigne's very own electric bike merchant.
I have uploaded a gallery of images from the weekend to my website along with galleries from the preceding three years. This year's images are grouped chronologically so you have, The Hill Climb, shots from the main site including the Morgan car, racing at Kinsham "International" Racetrack, and the parade through town that wrapped up the event. Getting a decent focus is always the challenge when shooting cycles hurtling around at up to 40 mph (on the track) - makes me admire the snappers who cover the Tour de France even more. Mind you, they have lenses that are worth than all my bikes and car put together so that definitely helps.
Congratulations to Pete Mustill and his helpers for pulling off another successful and inspiring event. See further information at http://www.tourdepresteigne.co.uk/
