WHPVA 2010 World Championship Jersey
The main destination of my cycling trip in May was the WHPVA 2010 World Championship at Jersey. Perfectly organised by Keith Davis and Sherri Donaldson, the event was a pleasure to visit and to participate in!
The championship consisted of 6 races. A hill climb, time trial, 50m drag race, 2 hour race, 200m sprint with flying start and the town criterium in St. Helier.

Cycling along the south coast of Jersey, on my way to the camping.
Further on, a bit of climbing on the cycle path took me into the hills.
