YMCA 1st Annual Ride N’ Tie – Gainesville Florida Event Photographer

I had the honor of documenting the 1st annual YMCA Ride N’ Tie Two People, One Bike Race on June 13th. The event was held at the new S.W. YMCA fields located off of Archer Road. I’ve never seen this type of rely  before and the director Rick Anderson explained that it’s never been done in Gainesville! Here’s a bit about it” “Indians knew that the fastest way to travel was for one person to take off on horse while the other person started running.  Afer a short a short distance, the rider would tie up the horse…and take off running.  The first runner would mount up the horse, pass the partner, drop the horse and take off again”. So the race is done with bikes instead of horses.

Here are some highlights from the event. To view a slideshow and purchase prints of this event – go here – Make sure to register with my site in order to view and purchase items.
