This image does a good job of illustrating how I feel about riding in the cold and wet northwest winters. It has been raining for over a solid week. Whenever there is a break in the precipitation, we’ve been lucky enough to take advantage of it.

My girlfriend Inga assisted with the shutter on this shot. She assists me quite a bit in my mountain biking photography. While I have been having good luck with my remote shutter release, I still haven’t found a way to take a self portrait shot and pan without my voice activated camera stand. 😉 This was pretty close to the shot I wanted, a glimpse into our trail rides here in the winter. My Canon G10 really does a good job as a trail riding camera, but I might need to come back with some lights, since it’s dark in the woods this time of year.
