A couple of juniors warming up for the big race at Irvine Lake, CA.

Mens Master Group at a dismount section of the course.

Most of the images I see in Velonews for cyclocross races show everyone covered in mud. These guys even have clean socks

I like the first panned shot best, the second has a bit too much blur in the rider. The third is a nice image, but I would crop top and bottom.

Thanks I agree, also not sure what I am doing wrong but the color and brightness are off after posting ??

Make sure you have converted the color profiles for your photos to sRGB to maintain color when posting on the web.

These are very cool looking to me, I like that first one a lot, but the most interesting one to me is that 3rd shot with the guys running with their bikes. Is that some kind of obstacle they have to clear? I am not familiar I guess with this.

Cyclocross is a form of racing that includes all types of surfaces, mostly dirt/grass with sand, mud, snow with up hill sections were most will dismount and run with their bikes and all kinds of obstacles. What we have here in So. Cal. is tame compared with back east, mud, snow etc.
