Contributor, Josef Murray, documents the last remaining UCI one-day race on British soil.
Josef has created a story of images depicting the beauty and uniqueness of British Road Racing.
Curation one is from the last remaining UCI one-day race in the UK and Britain's answer to the Tour of Flanders. The CiCLE Classic.
I shot the Women’s CiCLE Classic with my Fuji X70.
I made the executive decision to leave the more powerful cameras and longer lenses at home. Instead I chose to go for more of a point and shoot style.
I love how some of these have came out. If you want to see more, head over to my Instagram @jsm.journa
