Cyclocross at Santa Rita Park, Durango

I went down to Santa Rita Park to watch the cyclocross race (part of FLC’s CX Series) this morning.

This was my first time watching cyclocross, and even though I only saw the last race of the day, the Men’s A race, it was a lot of fun. (It was also my first time ever taking pictures of a bike race).

The course was pretty cool, using the grass at the park, the sand of the volleyball court, a steep hill near the river and two small parts of the Animas River Trail. The weather was perfect, no mud or snow, I was a little bummed that it wasn’t like some of the gnarly pictures and videos I’ve seen of muddy CX, but still a lot of fun to watch.

Todd Wells got the win, Joey Thompson second. Not sure who was after that. Some pictures are below and the rest of the pics I took are on Flickr here. Feel free to leave a comment identifying any riders and I’ll add a caption. Race results (via FLC Cycling) are below the pics.

I'm not Sure Who This is, But His Kit is Awesome
