When I saw your photo, I laughed. It must be the rain. :lol: I was standing up a lot (more than I was used to) on Carson because the saddle was killing me.

I think the Sequoia folks realized people were "stealing" their thumbnail. At $35 for a photo, it's not surprising. What they should do is include a "free" photo for every rider and add $2-3 to the registration cost to cover it. That's $8-9K guaranteed for the photographers and everyone gets a souvenir. I did end up splitting the cost of one photo from the DR with ukbloke from RBR since it was, after all, a special ride :) Yeah, that Carson photo of you is excellent.. you're looking strong. Compare to mine.. <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/y2Uy8jXt3eJxufZqe8mZfw?feat=embedwebsite" rel="nofollow"></a>From <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/patrick.herlihy/DeathRideJuly2009?feat=embedwebsite" rel="nofollow">Death Ride - July 2009</a> Yeah..

It seems that we can't search by bib numbers yet. It's a bit tough to search by time, so it's helpful that you found my Ebbetts picture because I have no idea when I rode by their camera (didn't think they had it set up at the summit). My favorite is the one at Carson Summit: <img src="http://www.westworldimages.com/data/largethumbs/t274653.jpg" />. These are just thumbnails, but they are still much bigger than what you get at Sequoia Century. We saw that automated camera at Stage & Hwy 1 and were quite amazed by it. Later we found our photos on their website, and man, they are tiny! P.S. I edited the links in your post so they work now. (Nice to be an admin.) Hey Patrick, thanks for the links!
