Is anyone going to the Mt Evans hill climb this weekend? I was thinking about going up to take some pictures and just wanted to see if anyone was competing or spectating.

Mt Evans this weekend
- Thread starter Motionboy2
- Start date
Nope! The road is open, Racers are to stay on the right side of the road and cars are issued a caution that a race is going on.LordOpie said:
I will get there early however because I don't want to cause any problems for the racers.
The road is allways open for this race. My wife was a cat.2 racer in the late '80's, and raced it then. You get to not only fight other riders, but altitude, cars, buses, exhaust fumes, etc up the course. Makes it a tough race.
Josh, the most picturesqe [sp?] places for photos in my opinion for photo-ops is above treeline, but the higher you go, the less parking spots there are. Options are to find a ride up and down, then you don't have to worry about parking on the tundra.

Yeah, I drove up there a few weeks ago with my parents when they came out to visit. I will probably head up as close to the top as possible and then walk down. Maybe I can catch a ride up later if I need to.Renegade said:
I called to get the info, and the event organizer said that she wanted to warn me that the cops would be on the lookout for photographers! I ask why and I guess last year there was a lot of photog's getting in the way and trying to ride with the racers and causing a mess!
Can I call you guys if I need some bail?
Just don't behave as badly as some of those rabid tour de france fans and the cops will probably let you slide. 
One year when Joanie was racing it I drove to the top to bring her and some other riders down. I passed this racer dude who looked AWEFULL. He literally had this long dripping string of mucous coming out his nose, hanging out but hanging on to him. Like a couple feet long.It was gross!

That is the kinda stuff I want to get some shots of. I like this one the best so far of my road shots, because the guy is just drooling on himself! If anyone is racing make sure you push it to the limit so I can get a picture of your painRenegade said:Just don't behave as badly as some of those rabid tour de france fans and the cops will probably let you slide.
