This weekend kicked off the 1st DH race in the Western Province, South Africa. As usual I was there to capture the action & the scorching heat made things rather loose & interesting. Here are my shots from the weekend, enjoy the sun if it is winter where you are living.

Stefan Garlicki training in Paarl the week before the race. Getting things done... race organiser, speed trap winner & 3rd overall, not your average weekend. Well done Sir!
Hope to see all the locals at Contermanskloof next weekend, bring loads of water, sunblock & anything that casts a shadow... it's gonna be a scorcher!
