Tour of Britain, stage 6 climb of Chinnor Hill
The Tour of Britain 2014 stage 6 crosses from Bath to Hemel Hempstead. It was passing right through my small Oxfordshire village too. This is the land of the Chiltern Hills, there’s a category 2 climb just a couple of miles from here.
Time to grab the cameras, some choice lenses;EF 17-40mm f/4L USM and the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM plus a few Speedlite flashes. Even two hours before the riders were due there were a lot of people waiting on the climb and the crowd just kept on getting bigger as the race approached.


For the main race I had a few minutes to change position so I moved and to be honest the position was less interesting than this one.
