Rouleur annual party

December 16th, 2009 by Daniel Sharp

First, I’m thrilled to be a part of the Freeman Transport blog. Second, a confession: this is my first ever blog posting. Online journal. whatevs. Today is the Tuesday after the Cross Nationals in Bend. I’m still processing images from that beautiful weekend. more on that later. Instead, a quick photo story about my journey to Rouleur HQ in London for their 2009 Annual party. I had only met Guy and Taz briefly in Caldonazzo, (where we just happened to be taking a day off from the Giro for Ira to meet with Dario Pegoretti) Needless to say, It was an amazing week. Guy and Taz were the kindest hosts. It was a huge honor to have my Giro images printed next to cycling photo greats such as Ben Ingham, Camille J McMillan, Timm Kölln, Taz Darling, and great to meet Marthein Smit and Rein van de Wouw
