Emerald Bay Photography News and Updates

Last night, downtown Bend was turned into a playground for the ultra-super-hyperfit - the 25th annual Twilight Criterium, part of the Cascade Cycling Classics.

This basically means, that the entire downtown section gets shut down to make way for a 6-corner cycling race like no other - men and women (separated into classes), at one with their sleek bikes, burn up the pavement for a respective 50 and 60 minute race, cheered on by an enthusiastic crowd of several thousand.

Despite the low-light conditions and objects moving at a blinding speed (the pack created a breeze that blew up skirts and whirled dust and hay into the air), the photo opp was too good to resist. So for everybody who couldn't be there for the excitement, here are a few visuals to enjoy (to see the entire gallery, go here):
