Today is my last in Denver so I figured I'd better scoot up Pikes Peak before I head east so I snuck out of work early last night and here's what I saw

Great shots Josh :hail
I always think of this short movie when I hear of Pikes.
It's one of my all time favorites. A 405 Pug - no navigator tearing up the hill... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJsHlugRls4

That sounds wild! I'll have to watch it when I get home (work computer doesn't have the plug in or something).
I used to race with a guy (didn't know him, just saw him on the track) who only had one arm. He was running mid pack in the vet B class IIRC which is pretty darn quick. I figured taking pics while plunking along isn't so extreme in comparison. 
As for technique, I hold he camera upside down in my left hand and drop it in the tank bag when not in use (I leave the side pocket unzipped for easy access).
Denver has been great. Got in some good experience with the Judge, got to do some writing which I sorely needed to practice up on and most importantly got to do a ton of riding. Thoroughly wore out a fresh set of knobbies and street tires and working on a second set of the latter:devious

Brian, I ended up hitting a lot of rain after I left and even saw a cool rainbow. I tried to take a pic, not sure if it worked - haven't sorted though them yet.
