Simply incredible!

Nice shots Christina. I love when cross season rolls around. MTB racing is great and we all have fun, but in cross you get a chance to feel the love from your fellow riders as they heckle and cheer for you throughout a race. Let the party begin!

Christina, I think this was your best one yet! The photos keep getting better and better, thanks so much for all of your work and enthusiasm putting this together!

Not to mention all of the encouragement at the race from you and Tom. Believe me, I needed it on Saturday. :drooling:

Peer Pressure If it weren't for you Chris this thread may not have continued. I agree the pictures are pretty good, I think being a racer helps to know when and where to take a picture. It took a lot of work and it was fun posting it. It's people like you that makes it worth the time and effort, thank you.

Between the Races ...

Here's a few more pictures from the Westwood Cyclocross

This awesome bike belongs Eddie Burgess. At 14.4 lbs it's a cross rocket. Besides it's weight, I was impressed with his bar tape. The sticky texture is ideal for racing Cyclocross in all types of weather conditions.

Larry Towner & Eddie Burgess: These guys have been racing Cyclocross since there were just two categories at Sussex County Fairgrounds in NJ back in the early days.

We have had dry conditions thus far, there were a few not so dry sections at Westwood.

MAC Whirly Bird Cyclocross 09.29.12

Whirly Bird Cross

Round #5 of the MAC Cyclocross Series in Bensalem, PA. The course featured many turns on a mostly flat circuit that included a multiple off camber section that drew many spectators. As usual the MAC Series had an awesome turn-out today. It has been hard for me not being able to race, training starts next week!

Awesome pictures! You capture the action perfectly! You even captured my patented "step on top of the barrier" move.

It's BRAD not BARD!

Thanks Brad I am having fun taking pictures, I MUCH rather be out there racing!
I saw your foot on the barrier and had to post it, lol. We've all done that, I always wondered could it be possible: Barriers are spaced 3 meters apart, with enough speed (and guts) could someone plant their foot on top of the barrier, jump and clear the opposing second barrier? Don't think it hasn't crossed my mind :hmmm: Awesome to see you out there, great riding!
