Cyclocross Varjo SM 2012 // VPCX Stylin'

The unofficial shadow Cyclocross Finnish Championships today at Louhela/Kaivoksela, Vantaa.

First batch of photos has surfaced, here. Plenty of people showed up and raced despite the snowy and icy conditions and the course was hard and technical just like it should be. Geared cx bikes were dime and dozen like always but here are photos of the best different styles, in the true VPCX spirit.
