The Radavist

The light in Northern California is just magnificent when it pours through redwoods like this. Here’s a photo of Dave Trimble, founder of Red Hook Crit soaking in the waining daylight. I shot this just 8 hours after he landed in the States from Italy for the Red Hook Crit Milano.

It’s the weekend, I’ll be busy covering the Philly Bike Expo, so don’t expect any updates. Instead, head out and get on the road. I wish I could ride on the 1 every day.

There’s nothing better than drinking from the Earth after a mean Cat 2 climb in 90+ degree weather. Last weekend, a big group of us did the Geyserville loop and after the initial descent, there was a water trough filled with ice cold spring water. I took my Hasselblad out of the videographer’s car and snapped a few shots of my Geekhouse resting on this oasis.

Are taken when people are working on their bikes. Here’s one more from my Recent Roll in Cali.

I got my film back from last week’s riding in Northern California and there are some straight up road porn shots in there. Take this for instance. Who knew that the 128 is this gorgeous! It’ll be a little bit before I post the rest of the photos, but for now, enjoy the open road.

The blues of this Cannondale track bike really compliment the Autumn vibes in the photo. Brenton, once again with the superb composition. Love this man.

I love shooting medium format photos at events like Texas Toast. Why? Because it’s fun! And that’s what I did this year with my Hasselblad. Two rolls of film, 24 exposures and they’re up at the Albion right now. Head over to check them out!

So Ian at Icarus has been working on this monster track machine for a little while. The idea is that bigger track racers, like 200+ lb sprinters, need a stiff bike and weight isn’t really a big of an issue. So he’s gone oversize everywhere he can. He’s still working on the frame, in his down time but this thing would rip the boards off a velodrome underneath the right racer…

I don’t have children and yet I understand why parents always have a camera in their kids’ face. It’s love, right?

When I see an American-made bicycle Locked Up in front of this mural outside the Liberty, I have to take a photo of it. Especially when it’s a blazing hot bike like Josh’s LOW.

Enjoy the cool weather, shorter days and colder nights. Each weekend, summer tries to hold on a little longer. Savor it out on your bike and celebrate harder than you ride.

I’m closing the pre-order out on these tonight and they will be shipped out on Monday. If you would like one, now’s the time to order one. Thanks to everyone for the support. I’m not making a lot of money off this, I just wanted to fulfill the requests of readers for some of my work.

Sorry, still no international orders.
