Cyclocross in an Orchard

[KillRamsey]

This previous (grey, flat, and dull) Sunday, we borrowed a friend's car and another friend's very nice bike, and drove up to New Hampshire for a cyclocross race in an apple orchard. Both the Mrs and the 6 year old girl got to race, while I shot entirely too many photos. And let me say that I'm not thrilled with what I got, overall, because I really blew it a few key times, and failed to have great ideas on the spot. But I got enough that I do like to share some.

There was a Costume Ride....

The XC 50-230 came in handy, though the dim light did hurt my ISO a bit...

#25 here overcooked it a bit on the back stretch, but he got right back up with no tears and kept truckin'.
