Dahlonega Cyclocross photos

photo courtesey of Trish Albert/Southeasterncycling.com

One of the nicer benefits we have during practically every race here in GA is a dedicated cadre of photographers that constantly roam the course snapping shots of the racers and then posting them to their respective websites. Trish Albert, Carl Mesta, Grant Blankenship and Chris Lewis are all professional or semi-professional photographers who can be seen at most of the races - Trish on her bike racing as well as shutterbugging. There are a few racers like Marshall Millard, Tim Stone, Jim Behning and Dan Coy that occasionally bring their cameras out and post their galleries on Kodak or Flickr. It is a great deal of fun to go through all the shots searching out the ones of yourself. It is also a good way to get a feel for the race and the lunatics who choose to spend their Sunday mornings out pounding through the grass, dirt and barriers. I have been fortunate to get several outstanding pictures that were worth purchasing and framing.
I also forwarded the above photo to Aaron Joppe, the Sales Manager at Slingshot Bikes - and he thought it was such a good shot (since it's a detailed shot of the bike especially) that he has posted it on the scrolling marque on the Slingshot Bikes home page.
