12 Hours of Bradbury Mountain 2012

The 6th annual mountain bike race was held this past Saturday 9.22.12 at Bradbury Mountain State Park in Pownal, ME.  This event is one of my favorite bike races to photograph and it's timing in late September has made it a Fall classic.  Unlike previous years where I have been able to camp out and shoot for the whole day I had a limited window of time to get some great shots.  Another client had me booked for an event that afternoon.  I arrived early and got to business as quick as I could capturing some 350 final images of riders in about two hours.  I shot from 8AM to 10AM and then had my friend James Lindley fill in after 12 noon to make sure we captured as many riders as possible.  My gallery of images can be seen on my smugmug site here.  I will be out on the courses the Fall capturing some of the local cyclocross races, Gloucester, Pinelands and the Bikeman Cyclocross Race in Portland are just a few of the racers I have on my radar.
