It seems that every year there is an up-and-coming rider who puts a serious hurt on the field. In fact, I have featured a few of these riders and they seem to just take off after their first year. The next racer has been competitive athlete all of her life. Gymnastics was her sport of choice for a long time, …
Changing of the Season
This week a chilly nip crept into the air. At night, the city finally cooled down and the long-sleeve shirt or the sweater wasn’t out of the question. Fall, or Autumn (as my British buddy Jon, likes to call it) is the most enchanting of seasons. Life takes a decidedly slower pace, the light gets softer and the leaves begin …
Episode #8 – Ingrid Alongi
I have been fortunate to see quite a bit of bike racing in my career as a photographer. There are always new people to meet and new disciplines to experience. In the biking world, all genres seem completely different and unique. Each has it’s own lingo, it’s own special gear, and it’s own funny sayings and snobbish eccentricities. The downhillers have …
Racing is Black and White

It seemed to be a day that was destined to last for ever. The sun beat down every single racer. The skin of each rider was …
Episode#4 – Eszter Horanyi
Eszter Horanyi, what can I say……..THIS GIRL FEELS NO PAIN. Any person that can win a 24 hour race is someone to reckoned with. Not to mention, she won it all alone! I was fortunate enough to meet Eszter a couple of weeks ago while on a shoot for an article posted on MTB Race News. We spent the morning around …
Episode #2 – Susannah Gordon
One of the first people I met in the cycling world of Colorado is still one of my favorites. I bumped into (literally) Susannah Gordon 3 years ago at a coffee shop on Pennsylvania Street during the ColoBikeLaw beginning of the year mixer. At that time she was just one of the ladies in the mix. Now, fast-forward three years. …
