The first gravel section has 3 (or 4) turns in it. It's not the most sketchy of gravel, but the turns aren't the easiest to negotiate if you're off "the line". When I did the 4's two years ago, that first section was absolute chaos on the first lap... guys in the ditch, on the ground, whatever. Might be hard to stash a car somewhere there, as they let us use both sides of the road on the gravel.

The second gravel section is, I think the most important. It's straight and starts with loose gravel. It's going to be pure power. I'd expect to get a lot of shots of people in pain there.

The third gravel section is hard packed and fast. Two years ago there was a tailwind there, and folks were flying. Not sure if that makes for good photo opportunities.

The entire f'n thing is desolation. There are, maybe, a handful of farmhouses along the way. There is an old cemetary right off course in one section. Might make for some good shots if it's open. There is also a busted out old barn on the back side of the course (I think I put a pic on my twitter) that could make a cool backdrop if you're looking for something a little "ghost town".

Off the first gravel section on to the pavement is where they have put up a Lion of Flanders flag a few times. Makes for some cool shots if the wind is howling.

There was a guy out there last year who got some awesome shots of annihilated riders who had finished and were licking their wounds back in the parking lot. The feed zone (where the few non-racers will be), S/F line, and parking lot are all a straight shot down the same road, so that might be a decent place to be buzzing around as the races finish up.

We don't have a search function up, but you can sort back through the Leland posts on the BH news page for ideas. www.teambicycleheaven.com/news We've posted a lot of the stuff we've found from Leland last year. There are some cool shots.
