The World Cyclo-cross Championships were held here in the USA for the first time ever this year. It’s a great sport, and I love photographing it. While I didn’t spend as much time shooting CX this year as I did last, I did luck out on the few events I covered as far as the weather was concerned (for those of you that don’t follow the sport that means the weather was rainy, cold and nasty with torrential downpours at times.) Here is a brief selection of shots from the Elite Men’s race during the Providence Cyclo-cross Festival on October 7th, 2012 in Providence, RI.
