She often photographs races for custom and cafe racers, and sent me some of her favorite images of lady rider (and one of her hubby). “From September 5 to September 7 of last year, I attended one of the best and crowded concentrations of Cafe Racers of Europe, Glemseck 101 in Leonberg, Stuttgart (Germany). Spectacular location in an old track racing between a thick forest. Along the principal road there are different stands of builders motorcycles and brands. At the heart of everything a stage with live shows, food and drinks stands. The people here is very nice and happy.
About bike racing, this celebrate in a straight line of 1/8 miles. Two bikes riders go out in parallel, it is really exciting!”
The races were called the 101 Spring International, and the 101 Classic Racer Sprint.
