“Dude, it’s fucking cold!” That’s Brian Hodes of Velo Images first words to me today as he prepares to mount up on the back of a motorcycle and shoot. A late night run to the store got him rain slickers, but the one piece of clothing he’s missing is ear warmers. “They’re cold.” The forecast is calling for a slight improvement as the day continues. However it had been raining all night with wind gusts of 30 miles per hour. Right now there is no rain, just the biting cold.  “This is shades of the first days of Tour of California when I killed a camera.” His camera was so damaged by the rain at the Tour of California that he gave it a burial. May his Nikon rest in peace.

If possible Brian will give updates from the road…
