I finally got all the way through my 3000 photos from this past weekend and here are a few. These are all from Saturday's races.

amazing photos Dave....that looks like a real Hell of the North type day!

. . . when the weather improved a lot. Mid 40's and sunny.

. . . ready to roll on Saturday. My moto driver, also dave, lives near Cambridge and knows all the roads. We were riding a BMW GS1200 with some pretty large knobby tires.

Thanks for sharing Dave, you really captured the spirit of the race.

[Mr. Pink]

Nice pictures! Were you hired for this? The motorcycle explains the variety.

[rwsaunders]

Thanks for sharing, Dave.

Dave,

Really great pics. The ones that stand out to me are:

The riders watching from inside the barn
The group entering the covered bridge
The rider with dosset #1
The group with the shadow trees.

Great use of light/dark shadow on a lot of those.

The one of the road condition is just cruel. I'd be uneasy riding that at any speed above about 10mph.

I've actually been waiting for these. Your shots from last year were great, so I was looking forward to this year's.

Thanks!

. . . and first I've actually been paid. My goal has always been to just sell enough to cover my expenses. It's a fun weekend where I have all the equipment I need and access to everything all the time. Buzz by the state troopers and they just wave and smile!

Awesome pics. Thanks for sharing. I especially like the guy with the near Santa beard. When I grow old, I wanna be that cool :)

The only way it would have been better was if he had been wearing red and green kit!

I always wondered what he does in the off season!

Great pics! Thanks for sharing Dave

Nice series, thanks for posting! Never shot cycling, but riding the pillion certainly helps with getting the whole enchilada ;-)

[WNCRider]

Great pictures that really capture the intensity of the event. I used to fish that area all the time when I had the ski house @ Killington but never got to ride my bike down there. Thanks for posting them.

[TJack1214]

Excellent pictures! Thanks for sharing.

[RonW87]

Am I correct that one of those pics captured the controversial Myerson move that resulted in the relegation?

[BumbleBeeDave]

I have a whole series of the finish and don't see anywhere that Adam was impeding anybody.

Really sweet pics

[wc1934]

They are all great - especially like the covered bridge one. And the dude with the pint has got it right!

[Mikej]

Thanks for posting the photos, it really makes me "feel it" - cold, dirt, pain - my favorite!

[bobswire]

Great Photos Dave, just looking at the photos you can feel the pain. AND people pay to ride this !?! :eek:

[Steevo]

Great work Dave. You really captured the event with a lot of feeling. Great photos!

[tiretrax]

Fantastic jobs, Dave. I feel like I was there. You should be doing that full time.

[Louis]

Nice job Dave. (as always)

I looked but didn't see any disc brakes. Were there any?

[PaMtbRider]

Thanks for sharing Dave. You really have a good eye for capturing the moment. I like the way you find a unique vantage point for your photos.

[Dale Alan]

Great photos,you really captured spirit of things.Thanks for that.

[soulspinner]

Great stuff Dave:hello:

[weisan]

Nice work, dave-pal, glad you lend your skill and talent to help out with this race.

This is my favorite pic and favorite recovery drink of all-time - chocolate milk!

Really great pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Dave thanks for not posting my "walk of shame" pic :)

I'm pretty sure that was you taking pics on Herrington hill, that I offered money not to post the pic of me walking up that hill... But I probably wasn't the only one to make you that offer on that hill...

[MRB]

Great Photos, and thanks for sharing.
They help a Montana boy get a feel for the East Coast. :)

Nice shots!
