Masters degree

I knew pretty well when to expect the leader of the Sleepwell Hotel End to End Mountain Bike Challenge this morning because I went to the same spot near Brandywell where I took me photos last year and my digital photos are time stamped.

Just before the leader arrived a couple of motor bikes had been ridden down the lane on which the riders travel.

Another bike came sweeping into view going very fast and I assumed it was another motor bike. The rider was almost upon me before I realised it was Nick Craig.

I missed the chance to film his whole approach and demonstrate that he really is the master by some degree.

Nick Craig at speed.
