Firstly, it was AWESOME! Or should I say 'super-gnarly'
Lighting was, as expected, challenging to put it politely. A mixture of very bright bits, very dark areas, and rapidly moving bikes meant it was never going to be easy though I guess! All of these were taken using a 50D and 70-200. The length was a little short, but the f/2.8 was essential, so I think I made the right choice, and just had to crop a little. It was pushing the limits of my Sigma 70-200 both in terms of AF and sharpness wide open.
However, it was great fun, and I got a few keepers from the ones I took. The ones that are good photographically don't really have much variety in location. I've got plenty that look really cool and will be going on facebook, but they're not great as actual photos. These ones I like, probably because they were taken on the jump closest to me, meaning less cropping, better image quality etc etc. Anyways, enough rambling:
