After all the hype and planning, the Topeak Ergon photoshoot/training camp arrived. It had been 5 years since I last visited Sedona, and the sight of the red desert was very welcoming!!
Our group had a wonderful last 3 days riding the trails and spending many hours doing photo and videoshooting! Ergon sent its creative director and photographer from Germany, along with one of our favorite photogs here from the US. The team camp winners, Michele and Alan arrived Monday night along with Fuzzy, Dejay, and George. Quite the posse! Dicky was there in spirit.
We took soooo many photos and they are posted on facebook. You can imagine how many photos we took with photo obsessors like Jeff, myself, and Yuki! Here is my album on flickr for the complete set.
Here are my favorites.
There was definitely some skills practice trying to do tricks in front of the camera!

I think Highline was my favorite!

Ok, that’s a lot of photos.
Tomorrow: on to Albuquerque. We are going to see TIESTO!!!! I can’t wait!!!!!!!!!!
Friday: the rest of the drive home.
Saturday: Front Range 60. I am kind of an idiot, but I want to see how it goes and it’s very low priority. It’ll be good training!!
Next weekend: Syllamo’s Revenge 125K in Arkansas!
