Hi Folks,
Message from one of the camera operators:

Hi,
The TV programme about the Highlands and Islands Audax is scheduled for transmission early December. I haven't seen it yet but I have spoken to Triple Echo who are currently putting the finishing touches to the edit.
The BBC will give just two-weeks advance notice of the transmission date. We'll use those two weeks to maximise publicity for the programme, both in newspapers and online. That's why I'm contacting you (us the riders - Dave C).
Do you have any top-notch photos that capture the spirit of this amazing event are are just crying out to be published?
I'm looking for a shot with cyclists on bikes in amazing scenery, ideally not posing or smiling into the lens. Yes, it would have been good if we had taken those shots while we were filming but we didn't. Stills taken from our video footage aren't good enough for publication.
If you think you might have something which would work, I'd be hugely grateful if you could send me a small copy first. If we think it could work, then I'll ask you to send a higher resolution version.
I'd like to offer you a fortune in return, but on this occasion you'll have to settle for fame. That is on its way…
All the best. S.
