If you are a bicycle racer who participated in the Mt. Hood Cycling Classic and I may have taken a photograph of you, shoot me an email and I'll see if I have a picture of you. If I have one, I'll send you the photo. If you are an amateur racer, the photo is free. If you are a pro, you'll have to kick down a jersey, T-shirt or some kind of swag.
