Last month, Colorado was treated to a 6 stage professional level cycling race featuring many of the teams on the pro circuit. The top 3 finishers in this year's Tour de France were even in attendance. Liz, myself and two other friends hiked up Signal Mountain outside Golden, CO to watch the final hill climb of the final stage. This was my first real attempt at capturing a fast-motion sporting event, where there is only one opportunity to nail the shot. We positioned ourselves on a bit of a straightaway and I was able to capture a few great action shots of the riders, including Frank Scheleck, the 3rd place finisher in the 2011 Tour de France (above).
