Is what he is describing considered poor etiquette? i.e. to sit up when your race is run, if it means that others team riders have to come around and close the gap0 -
It seems that the road and hills are Bolinas Ridge in Marin County, California... after much searching.0

Well done, Mechanism, and Thanks. I've since had a look at other photos of Bolinas Ridge and they certainly match.Mechanism wrote:It seems that the road and hills are Bolinas Ridge in Marin County, California... after much searching.
The other day I searched and was able to find out who took the photo - a nature and landscape photographer called Richard Coke. He titled it simply 'Panoramic Landscape', and didn't name the location. The website where I found out this out wanted $1.00 for a download of a 9.5 Mpixels size.
I also discovered that several websites use the same photo, e.g. a property law company in the USA, a marketing company and a financial planning company, both in Germany, a taxi firm in the Czech Rep., and the Portuguese experimental/progressive band 'Stealing Orchestra' on their website. An individual who lives in Portugal uses it on his MySpace page and there are also a couple of websites in asiatic languages which use the photo, but I couldn't decipher what their websites were for.
So Yaxley Riders have quite a variety of company in their choice of background photo!0 -
