Leicester Castle Classic

The not so correctly name Leicester Castle Classic is a bike race through parts of Leicester city centre and passing the Mary de Castro church... it's not so classical in the sense of 2013 was it's first year!

I'm massively into my bikes, so I decided to take a trip down to drool at the pro cyclists' bikes and maybe get 1 or 2 good photos.

Holiday

I recently went on a holiday to see a friend down on the south east coast. I took my bike expecting to get a lot of free time to myself and figured I could visit some of the towns and cities around. This decision determined what camera I would take away with me; the D3 being far too big without adding lenses in the equation and the X100 fitting perfectly in my saddle bag made it a no brainer. Naturally I feared that I'd be limited with a 35mm equivalent lens, even though I now use mostly primes on my D3 I still have some flexibility.

My fear, however, was unfounded. The X100 has fast become my favourite camera due to it's flexibility, it might not have an array of lenses but it is small enough to take anywhere.
