KMC Chain Winter Series, Race Weekend #5
And so it begins. Though today signaled an end - the final races in this years' KMC Chain Winter Series at Southridge USA, it also marks the start of an exceedingly busy race month. Every Saturday, every Sunday, and two Fridays will see racing action, either road or mountain, and often both the same day.
But those are in the weeks to come. Today, attention was focused on that rocky knoll, that twisting trail to the top and back down the other side. With everything in bloom it was hard not to find a view point with racers snaking their way, in long lines or small groups, through a landscape laced in yellow, green and silver.

Moving right onto the photos, an even 100 have been selected for the Flickr album (all from the XC race). As usual, if you see a photo you like feel free to download it (credit where credit due, of course). As usual I took more photos than those that made it into the album, so if you don't see what you were looking for there, let me know with a race number and I will see what I can find.
Want more? Go ahead and order your own copy of the CLR Effect racing annual. There are two editions available right now (2013 and 2014), and you can preview them by clicking the 2014 Seasons in the Sun Book Preview button near the top of the right hand column, or under the title banner at the top of the page.
