Victoria's Secret

Hi All,

This past weekend at Victoria Park in Truro NS, was the scene of the annual Mountain Bike Race Victoria's Secret. Hosted by Hub Cycle, it was a great event to attend, with the star attraction being trials ace Ryan Leech who also raced before putting on a trials exhibition. WOW!

The course wound through the park, with a nice combination of terrain and a good turnout of racers of all ages. It was great seeing the younger set, and by all accounts they had a blast.
Events like this are a photographers dream, with lots of speed, sweat, mud and sometimes blood!

All images taken with a Canon 5D, 70-200 F4L Canon lens. The first image also featured a B&W Polarizing Filter, and on the remaining images a Canon Speedlight 580EX11 Flash was used for fill light.

Enjoy!
