I met photographer, Sterling Lorence at Ray’s in Cleveland. He was there shooting a catalog for Gary Fisher. We chatted about some of his stunning mountain bike photographs.

In the TrailLogue, we ride at Espenscheid Forest Preserve in Rockford, IL during a snowstorm. The singletrack was covered with 3 or 4 inches of powder with an inch of wet slush underneath. Made for hard riding, but the snowmobile track was packed down and a little easier going.
