Earlier this year we purchased four Fezzari Nebo Peak all-mountain bikes for use on bike patrol. Fezzari gave us a killer deal on the bikes and asked if they could photograph an officer with the bike for their marketing materials. I was chosen as the "model", and I use that term quite loosely.

I don't remember the name of the photographer who took the picture.

Brett, indeed a great photo for the manufacturer's marketing purposes - it looks like you did good!

What a wild looking ride, Bret. No doubt works well for the district you're all in out near the parks around Moab.

The first time I went through Moab there was a dirt road, one hotel, and one restaurant - looks like the town has come a long way Bret. Nice pic Bret. :wavey:

Chris: I'm somewhat of a maverick at the PD. Several of the guys I work with call me a hippy in a cop uniform. I'm okay with that. The goatee is WAY out of policy but I usually work nights and stay out of the office as much as possible so admin doesn't even know I exist, really. I have been told to shave it once or twice, including right after they saw this photo. :biggrin:
