This gorgeous picture was captured by @fabfemme_australia who we were very excited to have join us for the ride. They have more, and a write up about how they made their 'Most Elegant Spectator' outfit on their blog. Check out their profile for more information.

Captured during our 2022 ride by Jarrod Hall - The Ginkgo Tree Creative Studio & Hidden Lanes @hiddenlanesslowtravel @theginkgotreecreativestudio This year we decided to do an award rosette for both millinery and helmets. We’re glad we did because it meant we were able to award the months and months of work by @patrickduffy_cleverfool that went into making these exceptional black swan helmet covers. I was delighted to see these excellent photos of the swans taken by Samantha of @bespokedesign.co and had to share. Enjoy!
