PSU Cycling Club: PSU Mountain Bike Race 2008

I felt the need to fight off impending sleep to get these posted for all you cycling-freaks who were at Penn State Cycling Club’s Mountain Bike Race this weekend. If you think cycling is just a bunch of spandex-clad juicers with too much time to just ride bikes, I beg to differ. There is never enough time to just ride. I got hooked this past year with mountain biking, and so it brought me to a new level of appreciation of the sport.
All stereotypes aside, photographing road and mountain bike races have been some of the most intense events, just because of how much mental and physical energy is demanded of the racers, and the level of risk is just so high.
For now, here’s a preview of Sunday’s XC and Downhill events.
And for those of you with a lot of time on your hands or have a healthy mountain bike obsession, here’s the complete gallery.
