Photos... lots of photos

Another Horrible Hundred is in the books!  It was a fabulous day - perfect for a ride!  But now the hard work comes for me.  I took 5,806 photos & Christian took 2,166.  That is almost 8,000 photos!  And I have to go through all of them before uploading them t the website.  I don't want to waste your time looking at anything that did not come out!

Don't let that number scare you.  We were at 5 locations & with 1800 riders pre-registered, that is still not a photo for each rider.  I wish we were able to get a photo of each rider at each location, but it just isn't possible, with the different starting times & routes. 

Also, I tend to take multiple photos of riders when I can, particularly on Buckhill.  I post only one photo & move the others to the "extras" file.  Once you find yourself, make sure to check out that file to see if there is another photo of you that you might like better.  Just look for the file numbers just before & after your photo file number.  And of course, if you have any questions, please email me!  LovoPixs@verizon.net

Last night was spent downloading & rotating.  Now, I am getting off & will start to sort.  The plan is to have it all done & begin uploading on Wednesday.  Thanks for your patience!  It will be worth it!!

Finally...

November is here!  It is the perfect time of the year for a bike ride! 

The two events I am covering again this year.  First is Ride Without Limits.  November 13th.  36, 63 or 100 miles, benefiting United Cerebral Palsy.

I was unable to shoot their event last year, since there were two events on the same weekend.  I am thrilled to be back with them!  And watch out for my husband, my brother-in-law & my son - riding his first organized ride!! 

The second is Horrible Hundred in Clermont.  November 20th.  35, 75 or 100 miles over the mountains of Florida.  Ok, the HUGE hills!  And yes, they are there & they are real!

Unfortunately, Strawberry Century & Hilly Hundred did not happen this year.  It has been a while, but I am very excited to get back out there photographing as you pedal!  Good Luck!
