Getting Ready

A photography project about the quiet room that holds the ride before it begins.

Getting Ready.

Every ride starts the same way: alone, in a room, putting the kit on.

Race morning, friday group ride, solo training. it doesn’t really matter. the ritual repeats.

This project photographs that in-between moment, where the domestic space meets the riding life.
