Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - No Nos Sprint Race PICTURES

I don't have any, sorry.
But ,for all of you who were there with cameras, or have friends who were there with cameras, please post them. And post them here.
Thanks.

I'd like to add that it was an amazing, I wish I could have stayed later, but I had to get back to Milwaukee. I met a lot of nice BFers, which is always great.
And [165] is as impressive in real life as he is on here :D
That is all.
I am off to bed.
PICTURES!

And results too, pretty please

As soon as I get a chance to upload em' I'll do it - in the middle of finals. Yes, it was a great day... who were you? I'm sure we talked, but I was too ashamed to ask "are you on Bike forums" when I met someone.

When I met Salome and Absntr and Chicagoamdream, they pointed you out to me.
I was the kid on the white bianchi, with the beard and black hat.

what's the word on that guy's chainring?

Taco'd from missing chainring bolts, perhaps?

it was all one piece. he just folded it at the start.

[edit]I have 600+ to look through, it might take a little bit to edit

Photos!
managed to edit down 450 to 88 - I should be working on finals but I'm still too excited about yesterday! That was an incredible time and it went off without a hitch! Thanks again to ben for doing such a great job putting it on.
Feel free to use these low-res images for personal online uses. However I have to say this, I hope I don't come off bad: If you choose to use any of these images in a blog, website, or your myspace; please use credits (David McLean). In the past I've seen my and my coleagues images pop up on the internet without credits. I know they are just photos and it is just the internet, but this is how I try to make a living, so help a brotha out and get my name out there if you use them! Hope you all understand! I'm kind of glad I lost in the first heat because I had just as much fun shooting!

I have the same saddle as the guy with the folded chainring. Narrowest.as$hatchet.ever.

There are some rad shots in that bunch Dave; well done world champ.

I'll have some photos up in the next day or two -- my computer died when I moved last weekend and a new Mac is on the way -- gotta do some RAW post-processing.

Good times all round and much thanks to Ben for organizing a great time.

Nice to meet a few fellow BF'ers from out of town who I hadn't met before.

high res of this? daddy needs a new desktop.

So who won the 5-man sprint at the end?

Dave - great shots!
Naz - that sucks. Shoulda PM'd me!

It was nice to meet a lot of you, but Shant's spokecard made it very easy to identify hyper! And to all the haters that boo'ed when teabag and I "raced" - we knew you were just jealous. Try to relax, have some fun. It gave you a bit of time to rest and see what biking is really all about: two idiots riding very slowly while holding hands and then playing "rock-paper-scissors" to see who would take the heat.

yeah, who has pictures of our "race"? I'm dying to see 'em!

I totally missed it! I know cat did too. I bet you can count on ben's little brother brandon to have gotten it. That kid took something like 900 pics.

there was some dude hanging out by Evan with a black cycling cap emblazoned with what appeared to be a green skull. He got a few.


PS- Dave, sorry about skipping your festivities. I was really frickin tired. Next weekend we should hit bars or something.

']Dave - great shots!

this makes me angry I missed the whole day.

I had a blast yesterday....first time ive done a race on my bike...I won two heats and then lost to 165....nice to meet the people that I did and I will definitely be coming back to chicago again for more races

Hey! You shoulda said something - I had no clue that was you! Nice to meet ya!

nice to meet you as well....ya there were quite a few people that I wanted to meet in person but didn't do for some reason or another....does anyone know who was taking pictures at the finish line? I'd like to see pictures of heats that were close at the finish

I was taking photos at the finish line for all of the first round. I'll post them all when I can.

Just a few from me.

How do you fold a chain ring like that?

use crappy parts

not enough slack wouldnt help matters.

so, as usual, i didn't take enough photos of stuff that mattered, but thanks to val, who took the photos at the track on sunday, i do have some stuff posted here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/chimblysweep/sets/72057594129125070/).

This is what gay postmen dream of at night.

above comment made by msngr posing (or is it poseuring?) as the real salome.

I had a blast at the race, I was bummed I had to cut out early. Skid/trackstand comp and after party looked fun. I brought my camera but my battery died after a few shots, sorry! Can't wait for next year, I'm getting a bigger chainring!

I have a couple good rolls of film but everyone is going to have to wait until they get developed and I scan them in like 1996. Ben, thanks for getting everyone together and Dave, thanks for the after after party and Evan thanks for buying me beer after I forgot my ID at Dave's.

Get a picture CD dude!
We don't want to wait foreverrrrr

I'll get the CD tomorrow. MAN!

Ouch.

my pictures (http://flickr.com/photos/salomes/sets/72057594129689008/). i didn't take pictures at the race. more hanging out pictures than racing pictures.

yo, just wanted to say thank you for a good race and stuff. i apologize to the man who kept asking me what number i was during the skid...i didn't have the money to get a number but still wanted to have some sort of participation. anyway, thank you again. peace.

How big are the wheels on that bike? It looks like a blast to ride.

I'm sad I missed it, but the pictures made me feel like I was (almost) there. Yay!
