A Photographic Essay on the Effects of Cyclocross Races on Parks

 The photos shown here were taken at several MAC races in 2004 by SpectaSport founder Ken Getchell.  They are representative of the so-called "turf damage" of cyclocross races on community parks and other facilities. 

 The first half of the essay deals with typical conditions that most parks can expect.   

 The second half deals with the worst-case scenario, a deluge that creates a “mud bath”.
