| Sunrise over Suzuka. |
We were up early last Saturday morning to join the Guell crew at the
Suzuka Enduro, leaving Nara at 4AM with three vans loaded with bikes and riders...
 |
| Early morning test ride. |
The track was busy when we arrived with riders taking advantage of the early warm up laps...
 |
| The pits. |
Then at 8Am the circuit filled with cyclists ready for the start of the 8 hour race...
 |
| Le Grand depart. |
The pits were busy with teams trying to perfect the rider change maneuver...
There were some funky kits on display...
Some riders were taking the event very seriously...
And some were really challenging themselves with their choice of "bike"..
It was a day for all the family to enjoy...
And most riders were there just to have fun...
Away from the track the market area was busy...
...Selling everything you could need, from head...
...To toe...
A chance to try new products...

Or get a quick tune up...
Naturally we spent a large part of the day photographing bikes...
So. Many. Bikes...
Team Guell finished a very respectable 41st out of a field of some 600 teams. They have uploaded a gallery of photos you can see
here. We have a load more photos from the day that will be posted here over the next couple of weeks.
