ANOTHER WAM300 IN THE BOOKS


What a great ride for a great cause!

More photos HERE, More to come.


My random thoughts and memories of WAM 2007, (just a few of many!)

  • My wife and kids at the finish line
  • My kids running up screaming “daddy!” to give me a big hug
  • I felt much better physically this year
  • Getting up before the sun is up
  • Watching the sunrise up of the trees and cornfields while riding a bike
  • Riding with and photographing Kevin early Sunday morning
  • Kevin saying he wants to “Just Ride” it helps you forget about everything else
  • This made me smile because I feel the same way
  • Getting to see Kevin finish on Sunday
  • The nice photos I captured
  • The photos I missed. (I can’t shoot it all unfortunately)
  • Riding with Scott and Steve
  • Riding with Chris and Karen to the finish, I’m glad I waited for you!
  • Riding in Team Blizzards group of 30. They are to good to me
  • Pulling for team Blizzard. I felt like I helped work some this year
  • Ripping my legs off chasing team Blizzard after photographing them (It took 4-5 miles and hurt but was worth it)
  • Rudy’s girlfriend taking pictures of us from a helicopter
  • I felt bad for the people and the dog when we saw it under a car after being hit, glad it wasn’t a rider
  • Sudan and Cindy’s Smiles
  • Talking with Derrick, who started it all
  • Kevin getting his award
  • Feeling gratefully and surprised at the gift Make-A-Wish gave me Thursday night
  • People telling me how they enjoy my photography and the support I get
  • People thinking I was nuts for riding with one hand and holding the camera in the other taking picture while riding.
  • The trackstand I did at one stop sign, it was luck ladies J
  • Riding in a group of 50 plus at one point during the trip
  • The hum of tires
  • Shadows on the cornstalks
  • Riding alone with no one else in sight
  • Less climbing
  • Not as hot this year!
  • Wanting to be done
  • Not wanting it to end
  • Sad that it was over
