I have fallen in love with photographing CycloCross. It is fast, furious, hard, muddy, intense and addictive. It is also great winter training for triathletes and of course another reason to buy a new bike! Race are generally 1 hour in duration and involve riding and on occasion running with you bike over unrideable sections. The top riders will have at least 2 bikes and a support crew as they can get so clogged up with mud. There is a pit area where you ride into and swap your bike over for the crew to clean before swapping again later on.
