This was taken during the 2025 Race Around Rwanda. I love the way the mist created a stark contrast between the people crossing the bridge - including one of the racers - and the valley behind them. It forces your eye to take in each character and consider what’s going through their minds.

Over the misty bridge in Rwanda

12 years ago she was paralysed and couldn't walk. On 16 May 2025 Sarah Ruggins claimed the outright record for cycling the length of the UK and back, a total of 2,700KM, in 5 days 11 hours and 14 minutes, beating the previous male record holder by nearly 7 hours and the previous female by 4.5 days.
