Wow- it was really something to see all those bikers out sweating like crazy in 30 degree weather. I was freezing my butt off taking pictures, but it was a lot of fun. The 2009 Lyons cyclocross races were sponsored by Oskar Blues and Boulder Racing. 
I really loved shooting this gal. She had the biggest smile every time she went by. Some people make it really easy to take pictures.
Cyclocross is a bit like mountain bike racing on road bikes by people on the run from a smash up derby. It is a lot of fun to watch. The course ran in a twisting line from the high school, uphill and across the ditch trail, down through the dirt jumps in Bohn Park, and back to the high school.
I especially enjoyed the crashes (of course). and the competition. It was also nice to be shooting people I know within walking distance of my house. And, there were some pretty arresting visual moments. I hope I captured a few of them.

ReplyDeleteI particularly dig your self portraits and the last shot of the bicyclist. I love those low-angle actions shots.
