Photo of the Day on Sep 8, 2011 - more PODs

Selected by Ian Hylands - This is just purely epic, almost like a scene out of Lord of the Rings or something, but with bikes... Crazy trails and a dusting of snow, it looks like these guys are a million miles from anywhere...

If the date that shot was taken is correct (9/18/06) then that's s long time for this pic to get noticed. I have a feeling Ian was saving it. If not, good find Ian.

This may not be the best photo, however... i want to be there. it feels like I can step into this shot... or ride into it for that matter, so props on that. I do like the composition as well... it's just too bad about the harsh sun light on the riders.

A POD should be the sort of picture that makes you want to go and ride.

on that basis, this should be POY!

Don't know why, maybe its that the riders are blending into the background too much on my monitor, but I am just not diggin it.

I wouldn't suggest taking it for this reason but benicar really keeps me hard for hours on end

I'm pretty sure that these are the steps Romeo Volken rides at the beginning of VAST? awesome looking trail!

Lehel-NS (Sep 8, 2011 at 9:00)
