Cycling

I have been photographing bike races since college and my days with the Texas A&M Cycling team. The sport of cycling brings about so many emotions and I always strive to capture those moments. The joy of crossing the finish line first along with the feeling of getting pipped during the sprint. If you see me on the side of the road, you better bring your A-game. I want to see some suffering!

A long stretch of road leads us toward Independence on our annual MLK Century with the Texas A&M Cycling Team. I finished with 113 miles and burned 3144 kJ.

Cross racing is always fun to watch, but I really enjoyed photographing the riders biking and running up the hills while trying to navigate through the sandpit. Many thanks to Saint Arnold beer and their Christmas brew for helping provide a great race atmosphere. I hope to get out to more cyclocross races when the chance arises.
