Day 2 of the the International Skijor and Sprint Classic hosted by the Midwest Skijorers Club at the Snowflake Nordic Center in Duluth, MN came with another several inches of snow. Overall, the times for day 2 ended up being about a minute faster than Saturday.

Today was day one of the the International Skijor and Sprint Classic hosted by the Midwest Skijorers Club at the Snowflake Nordic Center in Duluth, MN. Thanks to the blizzard like conditions that left 9 inches on Wednesday the race was a go. Overnight and during this morning another 7 inches of snow fell making for a powdery and somewhat slower course. Nineteen skijorers and seven dog sled teams competed in the heavy snow. Here is a few photos from this morning’s racing…

Aurora display in Northern Minnesota

Even though the sun has been fairly quiet for the last few days, northern Minnesota was treated to yet another light show. As predicted earlier by the NOAA, the northern lights made lit up the sky on this cold February evening. It was not as spectacular as some recent displays however it still showed heavy green bands with red tinted streaks every so often. Too bad we do not have our normal amount of snow on the ground because it would have been interesting to see the light from the display reflected in a snowy landscape.

The fifth and final day of racing at cyclocross nationals is done. Big crowds attending the final two elite races where they saw Katie Compton take her eighth title and Jeremy Powers get his first national championship title. Along with the elite title the collegiate races were decided with Marian University winning the D1 title and Mars Hill College winning the D2 title.

Here’s my fifth and final gallery from the 2012 edition of the Cyclocross National Championships.

Day 4 of Cyclocross Nationals is in the books. Weather was still warm with a bit more wind. Today’s racing was a bit of everything with Juniors, Masters, Collegiate Women, and the Under 23 Men. In pretty much all the races the battle was to see who would join the leader on the podium. Here’s my selections from today’s action…

Despite a couple masters races on the schedule day 3 was definitely the juniors day here in Madison. On Friday many national champions were crowned from 10 years olds up to 18 year olds. The kids were amazing to watch out there. Pure determination tackling the tough muddy conditions. In many cases crashes never even slowed them down, they just bounced up and kept racing. Here’s a sampling of my photos focused on all the juniors who raced today.

Day 2 of Cyclocross Nationals is in the books. Gorgeous weather in Madison as we were somewhere near 50 degrees! Today saw lots of national titles go in the masters categories. Congratulations to fellow Minnesotan Linda Sone, the new national champion in her age group. Was a back and forth race for Linda as we saw the top two women change lead several times over their 4 lap race. Tomorrow we’ll see the juniors out on course and with warm temperatures once again looks to be sloppy mud kind of day. Here’s a sampling of my photos from today’s masters action:

Sampling of Fall Color in Northern Minnesota | Matthew Moses

Back in early October I enjoyed a day along the north shore of Lake Superior visiting Lutsen and Gooseberry Falls State Park. The Fall colors were a bit past peak but still splendid to photograph and enjoy. Just wish there had been a few wispy clouds in the otherwise clear blue sky.
