cyclocross

Cyclocross seems to be gaining in popularity lately, or maybe I've just started to notice it. Its a bike race taking place predominately in winter months and usually includes a water feature, some steep hills and obstacles that need to be leaped over while off the bike. Its been described as a "bike race mixed with steeplechase"
I imagine the idea was for riders to stay in shape during the cold months when the roads get bad.
When a popup race appeared as a tuneup to the 2013 UCI (International Cycling Union) World Elite Cyclo-cross Championships to be held in Louisville, KY it was an excellent opportunity to see what all the hoopla was about and get some(hopefully) cool action pictures.

I'm sure there was a technical name for this hill with its railroad tie steps, but I called it heckle hill, as you can see there is no other explanation needed.
