the morning after

The cycling photos are from my first completed 200 mile bike ride- The Hemet 2006 Double Century. This is my first attempt at posting photos on the internet for others to view. Obviously, I haven't quite got it all figured out, yet. The photos are out of order. There are no captions, unless you right click and select SAVE AS and view the default name.

The leg photo shows my swollen Achilles tendon and lower calf muscle on my right leg. I'm still nursing it weeks later. In addition to these photos, there are two professional photos of me at the URLs shown below. I'm pretty sure most of the smiles you see of cyclists on these long rides are fake. Mine were. (take the picture, already!)By the time the photos are taken- somewhere in the 125-190 mile range- nobody is smiling. I'm pedaling uphill or bucking a head wind and fighting to breath in order to catch up with the guy ahead of me and draft so that HE can push the air out of the way rather than my having to do it.

more photos from Hemet Double Century bike ride

This is not me! Just a fellow cyclist who did not want to wait his turn in line to use the porta-poty.

Optimistic spirits, highly visible and warm clothing, and a new bright headlight help me during the early morning start.
















This photo was so staged. After finishing and getting ready to put the bike in the car, I remembered that I needed an "after" photo to go with my "before" photo. This was a forced smile, as I was very tired and sore. This motel was the start, mid-point, and finish line.

This is a photo of the Hess family from a few years ago that I am using as a test upload photo. 

Welcome to Cam's Web Page Blog

I'm hoping to use this website to upload photos I wish to share with others.
