Funny.. our race (provincial championship) went through a kid's playground today too, but the conditions were slightly different... snowy/muddy with temps hovering around the freezing mark!

I'm guessing they don't sell a lot of Rhynos in Arizona ...

Erik Box of The Hub/Devinci. He was leading the elite points series until he crashed at the UCI weekend and effed up his knee. Props to him for coming out and cheering people on regardless.

MABRAcross State Championships - Taneytown, MD
So, the start looked like this:
The sand looked like this:
The riders looked like this:
The falls looked like this:
(I really wish I didn't have mud caught on my lens cover so it would have opened before snapping this)
And the faces looked like this:
Full set on flickr

Chicago Cyclocross Cup - Woodstock
"Ooops, I snapped my crank." - Ara Oggoian
"Thanks for giving me your bike man....uh...and a prostate exam. Do you have a wrench?" - Ara Oggoian - well he never really said that, but I think he thought that....
We have come to kick ass, try to grab dollar bills like cheap strippers, and beg for brat and beer handups. - MJH2 on the left and myself on the right.
I like how they got the ambulance in the shot. Seems appropriate somehow.
I told you I can fly.
Hole-shot. #2 by the end of the straight only to the guy in red next to me....who went on to win.
Whoooooooooooosh!
"So....really....you're not going to shave that until Janurary?" - three BF-rs in line. MJH2, Myself, Jbernayge

Thanks! - forgot to mention that after the race I looked down and saw this...
I crushed souls with a flat. Best finish ever for me in a cyclocross race. Had the holeshot right off the start and it took a lap (out of 4) for most of the favorites to get by me. I lost positions because of form - completely. I just didn't have it.
We split the race into two on the first hill. Behind me was MJH2 at the finish and then there was noone for minutes.
Wish I had the motivation to train in the snow for the final race on Sunday.

God of ‘cross I call you, my bike is ready to go
I seek a ride of glory, and free of EPO
I’ll attack the runs with fury
and on my pedals I’ll wail
Lord make me ride a recumbent
If I should ever fail
Amen

Cyclocross is to cycling what a roundhouse kick is to Chuck Norris.

There's nothing quite as humbling as being passed by a guy with a flat tire. I speak from experience.

A little sampler from our season so far:
It's California, so we do 'cross on the beach:
And of course we have those California Girls:
It's not quite Endless Summer here, but it sure felt like it at this night race held on November 15. No warmers required:
And we're into that psychedelic stuff:
And 'A' category riders that can hop barriers, going into an incline:
Hot-dog handups (probably made of tofu):
Other things that defy explanation:
