TransRockies (Stage 6-7 & The End)

Well that’s it, Darren and Jackie have finished and we’re all back to the day jobs. I’ve just uploaded photos for Stages 6 & 7 and a few more highlights for the rest of the week: http://www.dustyfish.com/photography/2008-08-08-darren-and-jackies-transrockies Darren & Jackie finished, just as they started, 21st in the Open Mixed competition, out of 30. I think they are both relieve it is over but I suspect they’ll be looking for a new challenge soon! Whilst waiting for them at the finish line, one of the girls I got to know in the support group had a bit of a surprise! Her boyfriend came across the line, jumped over the barrier, dropped to one knee and proposed.

I reacted quickly (right place right time), burst off 74 photos with the two camera I had on me, here’s the best ones: http://www.dustyfish.com/photography/2008-08-10-the-transrockies-2008 Over the week I took 2500 photos, I’ve spent sometime organising them into the teams so anyone else who competed can quickly find their team: http://www.dustyfish.com/photography/events-sporting-events-transrockies-2008 That’s it for the TransRockies photos, I am definitely not riding it next year but I wouldn’t be surprised if Darren or Jackie get the itch early next year…
