Germain Burton photo shoot for Urban Hill Climb Program
Posted on July 15, 2011 by caspar

For this years UHC we have partnered with Speak Media to create a beautiful and informative program. One of the articles in the program will be an interview with last years second place rider (winner of the youth category) Germain Burton. Today I have been ferrying Germain, much to the chagrin of his father Maurice who runs De Ver Cycles where Germain works, from Streatham to Mile End and back. The reason for this journey was to get him shot by the best photographer in my family and one of the best portraiture and music photographers in the country Tom Oldham.

To prove this I am going to blog shots by one of the worst photographers and photographic assistants in my family…..me.

Germain was fantastic all the way through, even when I made him ride up a steep grassy bank on his road racing bike in racing shoes.

Well’ last year’s event was popular but this was ridiculous! We launched entries last Thursday at exactly noon and all senior male and vets places were taken within four minutes, swiftly followed by the Female and youth males! But don’t worry there’ll be plenty of room on the hill for spectating, plus we may trickle out one or two places for those already on the reserves list.

As well as the cash prizes up for grabs, the following generous sponsors will also be providing prizes at this year’s Urban Hill Climb

With prizes from:

Swrve Urban Cycling Gear

AnaNichoola Female Cycling
clothing and accessories

Black Rainbow Project
Courier bags and accessories

We’ve just announced our Urban Hill Climb set for 21st July on London’s notorious Swains Lane. Last year’s event sold out, so to give everbody an equal oppportunity to enter (FREE) we will release entries this Thursday at Noon.
