Marilla CX

DESTRUCTION:
25 derailleurs/chains and 3 frames ...2 of them carbon. 
COST: ~= $10,000.

THIS sums up what a muddy course leading into a pea-gravel pit can do to a bicycle.

WARNING #1: 
DO NOT try this at home  :(
 
 
 

-------------------------
A cold morning...


...did not deter a few riders from wearing "special kit" during the first race of the day....setting the tone for what would come for the rest of us! 

WARNING #2:
The following images are intended for "Mature" audiences!

 
 

..."uniforms" that may "look" cute, but do not lend themselves well to crashing...

..."uniforms" that should have been "ticketed" by THIS guy...

...and "uniforms" that should have been disqualified by THIS guy!
