New York City Cycling Championship Photos

[Swj]

i spent the better part of sunday in NYC at the races. i had my camera with me and took about 200
photos or so, so i basically had zippo battery or memory card left by the end. i picked out the best
ones, ie: the ones not victim of 50 kph speed-blur, so feast on these, some of them are actually
quite good i think. i'll likely code up some web-app in the next few days that will include a photo
album format with captions and such, since some of these photos won't make any sense without one.
for now, just point and
click. one last thought, look out for the pigeon.

Some very nice shots there, Shawn. I took the easy way and watched it on ABC. And
what a finish!

J-Album is ready made and quite good if you can run it on your computer.

http://www.lessyourimage.com/photos/NYCCC/DSCN0845.JPG Ah, Jon Erdelyi -- he went solo briefly early
in the race and ABC TV was identifying him as the other US champ in the race, Mark McCormack (I
think with a graphic on the screen). I was working for them and screaming into my mic that it was
Erdelyi but they didn't believe me until he was caught...

Interestingly one of the TV producers kept commenting on how lame the numbers are in bike races and
how they should have rider numbers on their heads and on a bib on the front of the jersey.

Does anyone know who won the 1/2 race before the Pro race in NYC?

Hey Shawn, check out: http://gallery.menalto.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=index all it
needs is Apache and PHP, if thats what you run, anyway, nice and easy web interface for
administering (upload, download, delete, manage photo albums, yada yada) and viewing. I've been
using this for a few years now.

Nice Pics!

HTMLAlbum does this, although it's just sort of a fun project at the moment. It's available from my
free software page below, and requires Tcl/Tk and a number of extensions (should all be available
via ActiveState's ActiveTcl though).

Dig the worried expression ("I have to race this guy?") on the ONCE rider:

He would fit in right here at RBR. Did he say anything about crumpled numbers? Numbers on jersey
fronts would be unreadable most of the time even from a moto cam, though.

It is true that it's harder to identify riders when they're all wearing helmets. Interesting that
some sports put names on the jersey and others don't (soccer also doesn't put names on).
