I’m new round these parts. I’m new to photography in general. Well, I’ve always enjoyed taking a good snapshot, but that hardly counts. I suppose you could say I’m an injured mountain biker who has taken to taking photos to save himself from insanity.
Looks like a great forum you have going here. I’m looking forward to getting stuck in.
You have to stake your claim early, around these parts, I’ll admit that ‘Pete the injured mountain biker’ doesn’t have the same ring to it, but welcome anyway-
PeteMcD the injured MTB’er doing photography to keep from going insane, I’m BrianC the injured triathlete come road racer also doing. I know how you feel. Sooner I get me knee sorted I’ll be back on the road the better. I rode with LesJunes for years but been with Phoenix in resent years, what ’bout you.
Downhill racing is my thing. Won my first race last Jan then the pain got too much to bear. I have sponsorship lined up for next season if I can recover, riding for team Realcycles/Commencal. I work a few days as mechanic in Realcycles these days so that keeps me in the loop. Just back from seeing a specialist and the forecast is looking a little more hopeful.
