Charles Wegelius (one of five British riders)
The riders set off at one minute intervals from Whitehall on a route past Parliament Square, Victoria Street, Buckingham Gate, across the front of Buckingham Palace, Constitution Hill, into Hyde Park, around the Serpentine, back along Constitution Hill to the finish in The Mall. A fantastic day and another chance to practice with my digital camera...
All pictures apart the last few were taken at the "5k to go" point just after the entrance to Hyde Park. Notice how the photos got better as time went on! Most have been cropped and a few have been "post-processed".
Added 11-Nov-2007: Unfortunately I am running low on personal web space so have had to remove most of the high resolution photos (I still have them, get in touch if you want any). I have kept the best one here, of Charles Wegelius:
