Thanks.
One guy was wearing a white jersey and tights - I bet he was really
annoyed not to be able to take them home covered in mud spatters! How
will he be able to prove he was even here?
The 'cross Nationals have been here several times the last few years,
but it was the first time they have used this particular park in this
particular jurisdiction - I suspect the Management was a bit nervous
and negotiated some severe restrictions on messing with the terrain
too much. But there should have been at least one stream/bog crossing...

The annual Cyclocross National Championships were held here about
15 minutes
from my home over the last 4 days. They got really lucky! The
course was
quite muddy from melted snow early in the week, the amount of
practice was
severely restricted to preserve the course. But a strong south
wind warmed
things up and dried it out. So the racing was pretty much ideal
conditions.
I officiated one of these 4-5 years ago in bitterly cold
temperatures, this
was much more benign. This morning it was about 60°F, wind
shifted to out of
the north, down to 30°F by mid-day, currently is at 12°F and
still headed
down! My wife and I had only time for a few hours yesterday
afternoon - a
small selection of shots here.

Some nice shots, but awful conditions for Cyclocross which is
properly
practiced in the mud and snow.
Yeah! Where's the mud, the blood, the tears?
Nice shots nonetheless... : )
