Ride Report Shimano Winter Series #2 (threads merged)

I saw Dylan there taking shots after my run. I was admiring that lense from afar! Nice camera kit. I'm glad that Rich was okay, he was hurting when he hit the ground and it didn't help that the other guy ended up pretty much landing on him at one point.


Also, anyone read the jan/feb issue of Decline? Donny gets some props as one of the 26 top people in mountain biking, he got 12th. It's cool to see a little love for stuff happening at home and not a million miles away in Les Gets or Switzerland!

Bob, not quite near there but about 30 minutes away if I wait until 10 to leave on a weekday. It's just a straight shot up the 15 to the 60.

 

Thanks for the photos! I'm healed up and ready!

 

Yeah, Sharky's famous! :clap: Great pics!

Congrats Dylan! Awesome shots.

 

Looks familiar....:lol:

Wait-yep, it's coming to me! The man behind Triple D. :welcome:

 

I can now see the differences.:lol:

It's really cool that there are so many racer/photographers who give up their practice time to take photos for us, as well as promoting the events we participate in via website stories. Many racers talk about what can be done to grow the sport, but these awesome guys and gals do it. Assuming most of the people here are like I am, I forward lots of the pictures and links of me to friends and coworkers, many of whom do not race mountain bikes, which could not be done without the help of the photographers. Without the photos and stories, I'd having nothing to forward.

Thanks again to all the photographers!

Now I'm looking forward to Sharky racing. You know girl, if you wait too long, if you race in the beginner class, we're going to accuse you of sandbagging!

Good one Orven!!

I love the caption above David's photo from Ridemonkey.

SRC finally posted 4X result for the first and second rounds. Although they got the first rounds results corrected, the results for the second event are shown as the same as the first event. :?: :lol:
