My favorites ...

My second-favorite photo! Elite men on the run-up
Hecklers on the sidelines!
Barry Koblenz

Here are some of my favorite shots from Spa:Cx. We had five professional photogs (that I know of) at the race, and we've so far seen the work of four of them -- one on a blog, another on another blog, one in The Daily Gazette, and one on his own photo site. Stay tuned for photog No. 5!

My favorite from the day
Unknown rider blends in with the tape

Brad Young, enroute to win No. 1 of 2
He didn't "blow it"

Evidence that I was, in fact, present at the race
Yelling at the 3/4 men to go faster

The first lap mayhem in the elite men's race
Alec Donohue already in the lead

The elite men, just after the start
Look at that Champion System arch!

Sarah K., on her way to a win, leads the elite women on lap 1
Emma White, in second, was the youngest rider in the race

Locals represent! Brad Young and Terry Blanchet (center and right) on the men's 45+ podium

Actually, a sequence of two can be seen in that gallery that was happening right in front of me as I approached the barriers. I was keeping my fingers for those nice wheels, that they'd survive a sideways impact on the boards, it makes a great combinations with those custon "Don't Blow It" barriers.
