Riding with the Brownlees (Triathletes)

It's amazing who you see when you're out riding. Wynne Finch, Andy Garrett and Steve Bedford had the plesasure of riding with 2 world champion triathletes. Younger brother Jonathan, on the left, is the current World Under 23 Champion and Alaistar, on the right, was the ITU World Champion in 2009.

Riding back from Bolton Abbey on Sunday 29 May they shared the wheels of these outstanding local athletes. They stayed together until Otley, sharing a few stories about the brand new Boardman bikes they were training on, before kindly agreeing to this photograph.
