Back to back races this weekend.

On Sat, we have the Race for the Wine at Floyd Bennett Field, early morning. It should have some good turnouts. The weather seems to be cooperating. Hopefully, there is a blue sky so that I won't have to deal with the white/gray overcast sky. On Sunday, we have the Tour de Parc in Long Island. It would be my first time shooting that race. Just looked up Google map, the finish has a long stretch of road. Maybe I could use my Canon 500L for the first time. I normally use it for bird photography. With this lens, I could capture some of the dead head-on shots of the peleton speeding down the stretch, without worrying about the safety issue. Of course, having the potential to capture some of the most awesome finishing shots too. With that lens, it would like I was on a motor bike, next to the rider, during the finish.

I just ordered the Sigma 70-200 F2.8 HSM OS. A new mid range telephoto lens. It should increase my keeper ratio over my Canon 70-200L F4 no IS.
