Just A Walk In The Park With Indian Summer in full bloom, cyclists carried their bikes and pedaled laps during the 10th annual Idaho Crosstoberfest cyclocross races Oct. 18-19 in Hailey. Here, Women’s 1/2/3/4 class winner Jena Greaser does the carry during Saturday’s 40-minute race for the gals at Old Cutters Park. Valley resident Greaser won by nearly five minutes. Capturing a close men’s competition was Category 4 racer Bruce Deppe of Salt Lake City, Utah, over Dave Harrison of Ketchum, the Masters Men 45-plus champ. The two-day cycling event headquartered at Billy Olson’s Powerhouse Pub and Bike Studio included a craft beer festival. Photo by Willy Cook
