    National Clustered Spires High Wheel Race


    The only race of its kind in the nation, this high wheel (penny farthing) bike race features racers from all over the world speeding through the streets of Downtown Frederick. Watch these dare-devils riding antique or replica 19th-century bikes as they compete for the national title. Photos courtesy of Mike Washington, were taken at previous races.


    Join us to photograph this unique and interesting race on July 12. The website is located here for additional information, including parking options:

    The race will take place in downtown Frederick between 12:00 and 3:00.


    We have not scheduled a meet up in Frederick before the race due to the expected large number of attendees. If you are interested carpooling, we can assist in arranging that. CMPG members can also meet afterward at one of the local bars or restaurants, or at the lawn party at City Hall Park.

This presentation will delve into essential knowledge, skills, equipment (including lenses and filters), and preparations needed to turn travel challenges into creative triumphs. Learn to align your artistic goals with practical planning and explore valuable techniques like intentional camera movement. Prepare to embrace the unexpected and elevate your travel photography!
