Met Another Member - Chris350

I went to a cyclocross race this weekend to test the Olympus E-5 and because I love watching and shooting cyclocross. It's some of the funnest and most spectator-friendly racing you can watch. Anyway, while I was wandering around with my camera, someone said, "Hi, John."

I, of course, said, "Hi. I'm sorry, who are you?" I hate having to do that. But it's better than pretending I know. Anyway, it was Chris350, who has posted some very cool cycling photos on our Sports Photography forum. I actually recognized him from a race I shot last year but I don't think he was posting on the site at that point. I have a feeling we'll start seeing each other more often now. We both love shooting cyclocross and it's a very small, obsessive community...

Off topic, well sorta, I just recently ditched one of my MTN bikes and got a cross bike. Love it Have yet to really get it dirty, but it has seen tons of bay trail action

I got a CX bike a few months ago, too. I didn't get mie for racing. I got it to make it easier to ride from my house and stay fit in the winter. So far it's pretty much been used as a road bike, but I am liking it more than I expected. I also hate riding a mountain bike on the road even more now

That is exactly why I got mine. Sadly I had been finding myself doing way more road riding on my hardtail than I was actually mountain biking, so I figured I would get something in between. Love it, and I can always swap the tires out for actual road tires if I want to go down that road.

wow that's quite an expression... I guess that's what I get for taking off my shades in the midday sun with all that brilliant concrete around.....

You look very serious and professional. I'm sure you're calculating rider speeds and optimal exposure settings :wink5:
