I was out shooting the fifth round of the South West Cyclocross Series in Central Park, Plymouth, yesterday for Shred West; the weather was in stark contrast to the last CX race I covered a few weeks back and was exactly what I was hoping for: mud. Featured above is the men’s race winner Roy Wyle Smith (cyclo-cross.com) leading the field on the first lap, which is exactly where he stayed for the remainder of the race taking the win by over one and a half minutes over the second place rider Simon Young (Certini).
Maddie Horton (Certini) once again dominated the women’s race and placed 16th overall in the senior field of 57 riders.

A busy day yesterday, shooting round four of the South West Cyclocross Series at Kingsbridge in the morning/mid-day for Shred West magazine and then back to Plymouth to photograph the Plymouth Raiders’ second home game of the season. Race organiser David Hamilton got lucky with the weather for the second consecutive year, once again managing to stage his race on a rare perfect Autumn day making for warm racing conditions and a very fast track. The cyclo-cross.com team took the top two men’s places; Vin Cox first and Tim Williams second, with Blake Pond (CCSW Guerciotti) rounding out the podium positions, while Maddie Horton (Team Certini) took the win in the women’s category.
