I was amazed and very pleased with the quality and variety of images everyone made. Take a look.

| Photo by Dennis Sasaki This corner on the race course was a difficult one to photograph. The riders flew by at 35mph just a few feet from the lens. Trying to capture that on top of the difficult lighting conditions was a challenge and Dennis came up with a winner. First of all, he prefocused just a few feet in front of him since his camera's auto focus could not keep up. Dennis also used a rear curtain flash to help expose the riders in the shade and not overexpose the background. He used a perfect shutter speed to provide just enough motion to give the photo a sense of movement. |

| Photo by Andrew Barber I love this image by Andrew. Simple, yet very effective. Andrew chose a long lens to compress the photo and also a large aperture to help blur the background. It is composed beautifully and puts the viewer face to face with the rider. I like the seeing her determination and concentration. Too bad she was wearing sunglasses. The eyes show so much emotion but unfortunately they're hidden behind her sunglasses. |

| Photo by Bo Mathisen The best sports photos are not always where you expect them and Bo proved that point here with a tender moment of this kid watching the race on his bike. Great job Bo! |

| Photo by Conrad Rowling Conrad captured this trio in beautiful late evening light. A great job of seeing the light and working with it Conrad! |

| Photo by Richard Westin Another example of finding the best photos where you least expect them. Richard stayed late after the final race to capture the exuberance of the top 3 riders as they celebrate their win. Hopefully Richard didn't get too soaked for this fun photo! |
