Wanda's First Race 04_26_08.jpg

Wanda rode in her first real bicycle race at East Canyon Utah. She was entered as Woman's Category Four which is kind of the beginner level for woman. Wanda didn't win but she did finish the 40 mile course which had two major climbs over a mountain pass.

She did pretty well for her first time out.

GO! GO! WANDAAAA! Outstanding image Bill, I suspect the rest of the pack
was wondering where did Wanda go? Intense! Teeth grinding determination!

Wanda, Bill, the guys from the squadron and I, at this end of the world,
wish you and your fellow team members the best and only the best.

"Old arthritic hips"? Hahaha yeah sure they are. If thats what arthritic
hips look like, then every woman should have a set of those...:))))

Whoops! I must apologize to you Wanda. When I saw this photo I previously posted a comment saying how sexy I imagined you looking with nothing on but those sleeves.
Little did I know that you had already had that idea and made a beautiful photo of it a year and a half ago! And it's quite erotic if you ask me! Good luck with future races, it's quite apparent that you're working very hard at it.

Looking good Wanda. Great shot Bill, great DOF. Just retired so maybe this summer I can spend more time behind the camera and on the bike.

Another Great Picture Bill! Wanda's seat height and over-all fit on the bike look great to me.
Wm. Bates28-Apr-2008 14:07
Yes, the seat hight has been checked. I've been fitted and even refitted. I have no pain in the knees, just My old arthritic hips. Thanks for the concern. (warm smile)

Did you check the seat height ? I think its to low which causes her leg not to be fully utilized and puts to much strain on the knees causing injury.

Wanda,
You go girl !!! So intense, but where's that lovely smile, I already know the answer to that, at the finish line.
Bill,
Rockin' shot, Wanda and her bike are tack sharp, and you caught such nice movement, well done.
