Tour of Britain 2012

The Tour of Britain is the UK's biggest professional bicycle race and a centrepiece of the British sporting calendar as the country’s largest free-to-watch live sporting event, with many hundreds of thousands more following via television and online.
Lucky enough to be able to take a day off work yesterday and head off to deepest Derbyshire and catch the riders for 10 seconds as they slow down to take a sharp left-hand turn over some loose gravel.  Centre frame is Bradley Wiggins, British winner of the Tour de France 2012.

The wonderful Pete McKee

Pete starys off one of his blog entries with: "Living in Sheffield affords me some luxuries like having the odd pint with Richard Hawley and being able to put Henderson’s Relish on my Meat and Potato pie..."
It also allows him to meet the lovely Jessica Ennis and pass on some of his iconic paintings to her.  One of these occasions was last Friday at a Civic Reception for Jess at the City Hall, Sheffield:

Jess had just enjoyed the applause from a crowd of 10,000+ in Barker's Pool.  The ballroom in the City Hall was a relative oasis of calm, but not overly-well lit so apologies for the flash bouncing around all over the place.  See more at: Jessica Ennis

Just been checking Google Analytics and it seems that a big part of the surge in traffic my website experienced over the Olympics was down to this picture:

Jessica Ennis - Golden Girl

Jessica Ennis was amazing on 'Super Saturday' in particular to win the Gold Medal for the Women's Heptathalon at London 2012, in doing so she achieved a British and Commonwealth record score of 6,955 points, beating silver medallist Lilli Schwarzkopf by 306 points and bronze medallist Tatyana Chernova by a further 21 points.

Tomorrow she will be given a golden reception in Barker's Pool Sheffield to welcome her home.  Barker's Pool will be transformed into a golden arena for Jess and up to 15,000 fans who have been asked to wear something gold to commorate the occasion.
