I’ll be posting a lot of my shots from Sunday’s Tour de Nez over the next few days.
The handcycle race was the first race of the day (after the 5k run) and it was great fun, and inspiring. These guys can fly!
These are just a few. When the gallery is complete, I’ll provide the link.
More photos tomorrow!

I’m so glad you chose to post handcycles first! I saw your post in Nevada Photographers on Facebook. 🙂 I love the handcycles–very inspiring. We didn’t make it to the Nez this year but it is a very special event that I hope continues. I know there were some funding issues this year but hopefully Bubba will do well with it.

This was my first time attending, so I hope it continues!

There’s a lot of love for the event so it has a good chance. But, unfortunately, it takes time and money. And, Tim (the former organizer/probably still involved ring leader) knows how to throw a good party!

They had a real shortage of volunteers this year, from what I heard.

They cancelled it and then revived it a couple weeks later. Crazy.

Ah, that explains it then.

Those fellows leaning back on the handcycles remind me of Luge sledders…those who careen down solid sheets of (pick one: ice or pavement) for whom I have great respect, but absolutely no earthly idea why anyone would actually DO that. 🙂

Scary,huh!

Wow. I’ve never seen these before. Incredible. Although I think it looks like it would be very hard to steer, let alone see, from that low position.

I wondered how many times they’ve scraped their elbows to the bone. Yikes! Of course, when one is a paraplegic, I suppose a couple of skinned elbows are nothing.
