British time trial championships 2009 - part 1

Tractors, hay lorries, bonfires and bemused motorists can only mean one thing - the British time trial championships. Closed roads would have been a dream, but British Cycling made the best out of a bad situation and sent vehicles around the circuit to protect the country's finest pedal pushers from the hustle and bustle of village life.

Borrowed camera in hand, cafevelo managed to snap the top riders in action.
