A harescramble is an off-road motorcycle race, generally thru the woods, but in this case there was an open section in a cornfield with an endurocross section built in. It was bitterly cold, overcast, and windy, but everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.

I'd never attempted to photograph a moving vehicle, so this was a bit of a disaster, but I did get a few keepers that I thought I'd share.

Line 'em up in waves.

Now, go! Each row or 'wave' waited with their bikes not running, then kicked them over and went like stink.

It was pretty scrambly.

Some girls were doin' it.

But mostly guys.

The woods got a little torn up.

And lastly, there was one bike there that I could probably manage not to injure myself on.
