This month the subject was the famous (around these parts, anyway) Chilly Hilly bike ride. It's 32 hilly miles, and the temperature at liftoff was a plenty chilly 31 degrees. No matter, the usual crowd of hundreds of riders were there and up for the challenge. Also, there were four BI Photo Club photographers on duty. And believe us, standing around, pushing a button on a camera, is not as warming an activity as pushing a bike up Baker Hill.

Special thanks to Pat Egaas and Dawn Bockus for putting together a spendid photo shoot, complete with route maps, parking permissions, and hot coffee -- all this while our frequent photo shoot leader is down under -- way down under.
