Local Heros.... · 12 September 2006
So the season has pretty much wound down….and there are two names that stand out in my mind for 2006. Not only because they are local, but because they left a HUGE footprint on the National racing scene. They are Ben King and Andrea Dvorak. Both are now Charlottesville Racing Club alumni. Ben was picked up by Hot Tubes at the end of last year. Andrea was just picked up the Colavita women’s team last week. Both had breakout years.
Ben crushed all year. Numbers and placing say nothing of his ability. The result are too numerable to mention….Among them are 2nd in the Junior Tour of Ireland, 36th Junior World TT, 1st Walnut Creek Xterra and so on. Above all, he is a very nice, very unassuming guy. He needs to stop calling me Mr. McCarrick, it makes me feel old. Andrea kicked ass all year, and was always a factor in the BIG National caliber womens races. Colavita didn’t know what to do about her….so they they hired her. She should be racing in Europe next year!!! Well done!
SM100 pictures are all up · 6 September 2006

SM100 · 4 September 2006
Sunday was the Shenandoah Mountain 100. This was my 4th SM100 as a photographer. It couldn’t be simpler for me, I have a cabin 2 mile from the race course…this race is in my back yard! Jeremiah Bishop was flying, he took something like 8 minutes off of the old course record. The time was 7:15 for a century off-road! Jeremiah has unbelieve fitness right now. Sue Haywood took the Woman’s race by something like 45 minute. It was all Trek-VW.
18 hours of fun in Goochland · 21 August 2006
Monday morning and I am not feeling THAT bad. Raced the 18 Hours On The Farm race in Goochland over the weekend. Not solo…on a relay team. It was a a fun event and I felt OK on the bike. That being said….everything hurts this morning, but in a good way. No permanent damage, just fatigue. Trying to get pictures, race, eat and sleep was challenging. There are some good picture, but not a whole lot of them. They should be up in the next day or two. See you at the SM100!

Still too many pictures! · 5 July 2006
Still working on the Cville Sprint Tri pictures. They HAVE to be up by this weekend, before I go to road nationals at Seven Springs. Thanks for the patience.
Too many pictures..... · 26 June 2006
The Cville Sprint Tri was yesterday and I have way too many pictures! If you ever wonder why it takes so long to get pictures up, it is because I edit every single image…and I have the attention span of a hamster. I need to stay focused….focused. Hopefully they will be up tomorrow.
Horse Latitudes · 17 June 2006
Things are kind of at a stand still in the Mid-Atlantic bike racing scene…..and I am very busy with work. As a result, there is not much going on in my race photography world. A few Triathlons here and there…maybe the Commonwealth Games. I need to take pictures of something….......
Non-Cycling images · 14 June 2006
The Flora & Fauna galley is up and working. There will be more than just biota. It is basically meant to be a collection of non-cycling images. It will take a while to get images up, but the will be up eventually.
Back in business · 13 June 2006
I suffered a minor mental lapse and let my domain name expire…but we are back in business now. I am not an organized guy….
