Durham Big Ride




Members of Durham Photographic Society were asked to record the second Durham Big Ride which took place in September. On the 21st Of September hundreds of cyclists of all ages and abilities turned up at County Hall to tackle one of the three courses ranging from a short route around Aykley Heads to a gruelling twenty five mile run west of Durham. Everyone seemed to have a good time except for one of our members who was on the ride, he fell off with just a mile to the finish and broke his collar bone in two places. I am pleased to report the borrowed bike and his camera were not damaged.
Thousands of pounds were raised for various charities in this popular and growing event.
An exhibition of prints by our members are now being displayed in the Clayport Library in Durham.
