Patty and I spent the weekend in NE Indiana at the Salomonie Sizzler Endurnace Ride. Although the trails were very slick from all night rain on Friday night and clay soil in this part of the state, Patty had a great time on Coco who carried her to two 2nd places in the limited distance events. Limited distance is 25 miles. There were many pulls because of the slippery conditions.
Doug Palme was the official photographer for the event, but had a difficult time on Saturday due to the continued extreme overcast conditions and several down pours. On Friday, once Patty had vetted in for the event, I walked around the camp doing some portraits. I was able to take a few other pictures. I spend a little bit of time with Doug shooting some of the riders on trail on Sunday morning, but this time the conditions were not good because of the extremely clear skies which made it difficult to find even lighting areas.
Here are a couple of images from the weakend:
