Mitchell Connell’s Photo Contest Entry
My twin, Spencer, and I have grown up in a family full of ambition but lacking in commitment. The house that surrounds us is perpetually in a state of incompleteness with floorboards missing and exposed drywall, but through this we have developed both pragmatism and an enamorment for the completion of our goals.
Last summer we rode (with my best friend, Robert Fischman) from our hometown, Nashville, Tennessee to Natchez, Mississippi. After 462 miles and 9 days of leg throbbing persistence we arrived at our most exacting goal yet. This is a photograph of Spencer and Robert less than a mile from the end of the Natchez Trace.

Great picture and great context.
I love this picture. I want to ride the Natchez Trace too!

Rich colors!
Awesome achievement!
I luv the way how the image is captured, with the hands touching one another. It’s so compelling..the bond of cyclist.
The beauty of the Natchez + perseverance it takes to bike it = phenomenal picture
