These stunning images from the Grafton, ND, USCC race last weekend, taken by excellent photographer Aaron Kennedy, illustrate the rugged beauty, drama and adventure of cross-country competition.
They perfectly capture why I love cross-country (and why many racers were foiled by slush/frozen goggles at Grafton!).

Sweet gallery!
Cross country is great! It’s the kind of riding I like, too.
Great gallery.
Those are awesome photos! Nice work!
Love the pics with the skiers in the background, the gal stops to watch the race while the girlie-man trudges away. LOSER.
Is that a wolf in the second to last photo? Good stuff!
The fourth picture down looks like something in a movie, complete with eerie lighting and smoke machines…. As if Sno Pros didn’t look mean already!
