Then halfway up the hill I stop and take pictures of the riders climbing the hill. Be sure to smile. I have a faster camera so maybe I can get 700 pictures before the batteries die.

Be sure to get close to the road, last year the regular photographer was way over to the side and the pictures were distant and grainy. The previous year they were okay, I got a mug made of mine
