One could say that Blissett Cycling Club on March 13th, 2005, continued to take pride in promoting the greatest and most attended club cycle race to date. We even had David Weller our Jamaican cycling Olympic Medalist mingling with a few cyclist and enjoying the afternoon.
As a old timer once said, " A picture is worth a thousand words", well multiply that with the nuff images below and this is definately photo journalism.
Many thanks to all the sponsors, themselves, their products and banners are all seen in the photos.
A big round of thanks to Peter Ferguson and co-photographer Leaford Black for the professional digital capture of the event. Peter took time out of his hectic schedule to take these Candid images for us.
