Fall Cyclocross Roundup
I got out to shoot a few of the local big cyclocross events this Fall. Cyclocross is always a blast to shoot. The looniness of the culture is surpassed only by the degree to which the racers seem to relish the grit and punishment of the sport.
On the looney culture side of things, you can't beat the Halloween Cross Crusades.

2)
Some of the costumes look like they would affect race performance but the non-costumed racers received relentless heckling from the crowd. So there's that.
3)
But racing is still racing and falling still hurts.
4)
This last weekend wrapped up the US Gran Prix of Cyclocross series here in Bend.
5)
Conditions ranged from Frozen to muddy. As it should be.

Nobody said there would be Cupcakes!

"It's not just the win, it was the atmosphere along the course that was spectacular," (Katerina) Nash said in reference to the scores of cheering spectators who line much of the course circuit. "I mean, having so many people just yelling at me, 'Happy Birthday!' and then having all the cupcakes along the way and a cake at the finish...it's quite overwhelming and it really shows what a great family cyclocross fans are."
Here's Katerina Nash leading the Women's Elite class
Well played!
Thanks
