Bike Reno

I had mixed feelings about this year’s Tour de Nez.  On the one hand, having the race downtown again was great.  That’s where the race should be.  On the other hand, having the events on a Friday night made the more difficult to see.  It didn’t feel like I was going to an event.  It felt more like a quick after-work jaunt.  The crowd was noticeably smaller than previous downtown years.  The whole thing just felt very scaled down.  Anyway, on to the photos…

In a unique twist this year, Mayor Bob Cashell shot the loser of the hand cycle race.

Hand cyclists battle for position.

An ironic sign.

Pros hanging out before the race.

The low light made all further photographs useless, but I think you get the idea.
