Because all epic stories are trilogies.
Last month we went back out to Colorado for the annual Pikes Peak Hill Climb.
Flew in Thursday night and had to be up on the mountain at around 4AM on Friday. At 14,000 feet, in the pitch dark of night before sunrise, it's freezing. We set this sunrise timelapse shot up and then climbed back into the heated seats of the rental car for a half hour.
Ducati didn't bring a factory team back to the mountain this year so we went out on behalf of ID Agency to cover Jeremy Foley for Recaro. Jeremy was the driver in that gnarly crash last year that was seen around the world.
Matt and Ryan were back in Cali filming other stuff so Petra came out again this year. Jennifer from ID came along to chaperone us.
While we were out there we also got to hang out with and interview Jeff Zwart and some guys from his team.
Jeff is a motorsports icon - started as a photographer then became a driver himself and also, by the way, is now a renown commercial director for all the big car companies including Porsche.
The Hill Climb is not a joke.
While we were out in Colorado Springs we found some time to try Rudy's Country Store which is a legendary BBQ spot, and also a gas station incidentally.
We were hungry and the food was cheap and I was worried that we wouldn't get to eat much being stuck on the mountain on raceday so needless to say we bought an absurd amount of food. The chicken was pretty amazing. As was the chocolate pudding.
Anyway, it ended up being a fun trip. Shout out to Greg Tracy and Carlin Dunne and the whole extended Pikes Peak fam who we ran into and hung out with that weekend. If you want more pictures of racecars and stuff and less details about what I ate for lunch, hit up our boy Jamey Price's blog. He has some sick images from the week - especially considering he shoots on Nikon's ;)
