Thanks for the kind words Mike; and of course I was equally as glad to finally get a chance to meet you in person...   I was very impressed with your (and your clubs efforts), they really paid off... collectively it all made for another historical milestone event.. that people will surely be talking about in another 25 to 75 years.  
I am grateful and honored that I was asked to come and photograph this event, and glad I was able to help document and capture the images that I hope will be priceless for future generations...

Looking forward to seeing & photographing your vintage bike collection next!
Best regards,
Paul

The 75th running of this event was a weekend to remember.  The Meteor club did a great job with the layout of the course, which consisted of many miles of tight, virgin trail, that not only tested the riders endurance & timekeeping skills, but also their riding abilities... there were two special "endurocross" sections, that provided for some great spectating, not to mention some cool photo ops for me!

Also, having the vintage bike show, and many of the past racing legends from this race attend was just icing on the cake!  Guys like Jack and John Penton, Charlie Stapleford, Eugene Esposito, Chuck Berhain and others were on hand to watch the action, and bench race.. (actually Charlie and Chuck raced too!)

I had a chance to meet and talk with them all, and photograph them as well.  I created two galleries, one of the event, one of the vintage bike show, which includes pics of the legends, and also a lot of the cool memorabilia that the Meteor club had gathered from the early days, to the more recent stuff..  LOTS to SEE!!

The weather was perfect, and it just couldn't have been a better weekend to be in the Pinelands of New Jersey, sharing the wonderful passion for a sport we all love.

Oh yeah... of course I should mention that Jeffery Pasqua took the overall win, riding.. you guessed it...
a KTM!!

Look for a writeup on this race in an upcoming issue of Trail Rider magazine, along with some of my photos of course!

All the best, hope you enjoy the photos!
