San Jose California Photographer – Fall CCCX Road Race #1

Scott Mosher — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 03:50:04 +0000

It was a beautiful day for some CCCX Road Racing action. The venue was the normal course in Ft Ord in Marina, CA. We were treated to a full days worth of racing with 150+ racers out in different categories. We viewed some good breakaways and some good spring finishes to the different categories of racers.

I ended up photographing the race from the last two turns and straights. It gave me a chance to get both the start/finishes of the races, as well as the podium photos. The weather was good, as we had some nice fog for most of the day to keep things a little cool, and (at least for me) the breeze and wind felt great. I’m sure it didn’t feel too good for the guys/gals who were racing since I believe that breeze became a headwind on the climb!

Race winners were given California Giant Strawberries (and according to my wife, they are GOOOOOOOD!) Also on hand was First One Scene EMS to take care of all the wounded riders from crashes or anyone else in need of medical attention. Luckily they got to hang out in their tent all day and relax, as we didn’t have any crashes during the race.

I also will be looking forward to racing against the Cat 5 guys on the 3rd race in Oct. It’ll be my first road race, so take it easy on me!

Watsonville Criterium 2010 – San Jose California Sports Photographer

Scott Mosher — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 15:04:07 +0000

It was a great day for a race. I haven’t had the chance to photograph many crit races, and I forgot how fun they are. Quick course, lots of turns, and lots of opportunity to photograph the racers. It was warm out there though, and I was wishing that there was a little more shade out there for me to hang out at. It seems the shade is always in the spot I don’t want to photograph at, and never where I plan to photograph.

I was able to catch the first big crash at the finish line, but I missed the second one where the medics were called out.

I also ended up having to head home early, so I only got the first couple laps of the womens race, and I missed the Mens 1/2/Pro race.

San Jose Sports Photographer Scott Mosher was out again at the series finale for the CCCX XC Series at Ft Ord on 6/27. The temperatures started off nice & in the mid 50s, but it ended up getting pretty toasty out there. Luckily there wasn’t any big crashes during the day, though I was starting to wonder once LifeFlight flew overhead a couple times during one of the races.

Pics are now up, so enjoy!

San Jose California Sports Photographer – SB Racing Winter XC Final 5/22/10

Scott Mosher — Sat, 22 May 2010 14:37:56 +0000

Today was a windy race today at Ft Ord. I was at a campout on Friday night, so I drove straight from San Juan Batista to the race. It was pretty cold last night and I was hoping that it would warm up during the day. I think it would have warmed up nice if the wind had ever stopped blowing.

One of the things that was nice about the course (for me) was there was a few places for me to drive around the course and photograph racers at different spot. I just wish those expert racers would just slow down. It would have made it much easier for me to get to a new photograph location before you get there!

Race photos can be found at the link below. If you’ve got any problems or need help finding an image, please let me know. I did BTW post all the images that I took, well minus the ones that weren’t up to my standard.

If may notice there is a gallery called “1st Climb”. This gallery contains about 25 images that contains multiple numbers, such as 101 & 205. Instead of trying to sort it out by gallery, I decided to put them in their own gallery.

San Jose California Sports Photographer – CCCX XC #5

Scott Mosher — Mon, 17 May 2010 04:10:57 +0000

It was a good day for some California sports photography. Sunday was supposed to be in the 70s and sunny so I planned on packing the sunscreen, shorts, and plenty of water. Turns out my hunch to wear pants (also great poison oak protection) and grab my jacket & a long sleeve undershirt (also great poison oak protection) saved my bacon today. Turns out the weather decided to be cold, and at times windy & a little drizzly.

I decided to go try to shoot in completely different shooting locations for this race as I was trying to change it up a little bit from what I normally get. I tried to get a wide variety of images for everyone, including climbing, descending, panning, and anything else I could think of. I’m hoping at least a few people will find an image of them that is different from what they’ve seen so far.

Pics are now up, so enjoy!

San Jose California Photographer – SB Racing.org Winter XC #4 5/8/2010

Scott Mosher — Sat, 08 May 2010 14:45:00 +0000

Ah, finally, I got to photograph a bike race near my house! Todays race was held in San Jose, California at Santa Teresa County Park. Instead of having to get up at 6-something in the morning, get some breakfast, load up the car, and be on the road by 7, I was able to stay up late, sleep in, and then have my wife drop me off at the park. I thought about riding up to the park, but I really wasn’t in the mood to ride up Bernal Rd carrying my gear, and dealing with the gear/bike while out shooting.

Great weather today at the park, some nice sun and a perfect breeze. Luckily I didn’t get bit by any snakes while I was tromping around in the rocks. The race was put on by SB Racing, and this was the first race I’ve photographed for them.

San Jose California Photographer – CCCX Road Race #2

Scott Mosher — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 05:39:48 +0000

It was a pretty good today. It started off a little bad for me, as once I got there I realized I didn’t have any sunscreen. I should be easy to find at the MTB race on Sunday if you’re there. Just look for the weird reddish glow walking around the course, it’ll be me. It looks like there was only one crash today, which is good. It was good meeting a few new people today, hopefully I was able to get a photo of you or the person you were there to cheer for!

I’m uploading the photos as I’m typing this (which is Sunday night), and I’ll finish the process Sunday morning. I’m putting the link up now for you to bookmark, so check back Sunday morning for the photos.

Spring CCCX Road Race #2

San Jose California Photographer – CCCX Road Race #1

Scott Mosher — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 16:29:45 +0000

I had a really fun time today. I got a chance to photograph some good racing and got to ride my bike around. I was the guy either driving on the course in the green jeep, or I was riding the silver Specialized MTB around taking photos. Weather was good, though once that wind picked up it started getting chilly. That was when I really enjoyed the warm air from my car

Fall CCCX #4 from Toro Park, CA

Scott Mosher — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:41:14 +0000

It was a pretty good day out at Toro Park on Sunday. There were a couple crashes, but from what I could tell no big injuries. We like it when the Paramedics are bored during race day.
The race images are being processed/uploaded now, and the race galleries can be found here. If you don’t see your race up yet, please check back later today.

Until then enjoy a few of my favorite images from the day.
