"Nautica" hosted by local/athens collective, July 2010.
Featuring 8 checkpoints, 97 riders on a 39 klm course next to the coast of Athens.
"You're insane" howled a female rider as soon as she made it to the finish line, after the 46.7 klm of full speed heat-stroked coastal race.
This alleycat might have been a little bit tough, we admit.

"The NÖ GALLERY aims to create and display works which embrace the broad, visually appealing cyclorama that the bicycle affords. From exquisite typographical studies of head badges, to bold, graphic delineations of the humble cycling cap. We'll travel back to the pioneers of road racing, via collage, canvas and colour, and onward, through photography and film to provide an ongoing project space."
