Shameless Ottawa Race Weekend picture contest plug
Do you facebook? Do you want to see an RMer win a watch for something as arbitrary as taking a lucky picture? Then have I got a deal for you. Vote for my pic in the ORW picture contest!! You'll feel good if you do. The image is called "Speed", and is on the last page.
Here is the link:

I actually have better, but didn't read the rules. Only one pic allowed, and this was my first upload.

Re: Shameless Ottawa Race Weekend picture contest plug
It really is the best picture! Quite amazing, Rick-- well done.
The one winning so far isn't even a great pic-- they must just have a LOT of their friends voting.
So VOTE for Rick's.

When your legs get tired, run with your heart.
Overcome the notion that you must be regular. It robs you of your chance to be extraordinary.

Re: Shameless Ottawa Race Weekend picture contest plug
I think the one of Gillis & Eshutu coming around the corner is the best one. Like the one of El Hachimi too- it looks like he's walking across a tightrope and is afraid he'll fall.
Keep on rolling, just a mile to go. Keep on rolling my old buddy, you're moving much too slow.

Re: Shameless Ottawa Race Weekend picture contest plug
Maybe it's not counting then because I voted on Sunday when this post first went up. That contest application still needs a bit of work...

Even logged into FB I also had to allow an app called EazyContests before it would allow my vote.
