Otley Bicycle Race 2015

It was pretty darn hot today, broken only by a welcome rainstorm. The atmosphere of the race was typically English, with the obligatory red-faced shirtless blokes on hand to scream encouraging obscenities at cyclists.

The turn out was a little quieter than last year, the heat had probably discouraged many. Indeed, I have seen a bunch of people hiding in their cars in order to exploit the aircon systems.

I really liked this cloud. It was too perfect, as if the painter Bierstadt had put it there.
