Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Iron Horse Race Pics! (Durango, Colorado)

Hey everybody, shouts from Durango, Colorado.

I took some pictures from the Iron Horse Bicycle race criterion a few weeks ago. Unfortunately the historical "race the train" event was cancelled due to weather, but the crits still went on.

Please see Iron Horse Flickr Photos (Eleaf) for all the photos I took.
Here's a few samples from the event.. I watched the pro men's and women's. (both were around 45mins to 1 hour each around a few blocks downtown). This is my first time taking photos of a biking event..









Thanks for looking

As Larry David would say, "pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good."
Sorry, been watching a lot of "Curb."
Nice photos.
Great scenery, and it looked like a perfect race day.

Good photos!

We was in Durango visiting friends that weekend and saw a few of the races. We were at the bottom of the hill by the beer tent. Durango is a beautiful place to live (if you can afford it and like snow). The riding in that area is great. I'm actually considering doing the Iron Horse in the next year or two, we'll see.

I mentioned this in other photo threads. I love going to crits now, great photo ops, cool people, and fun races to watch.
