Of Crank and Chain: Cyclocross is a 240 page photographic and written expression of domestic cyclocross in 2019. Captured locally in the Pacific Northwest as well as at UCI events around the nation, the book is not organized by the events themselves, but rather by parts of a race day from the events spanning the season, blended together and presented as one continuous event. Mixing black and white along with color, none of the images contain captions of the who and the where, because, in a way, a season is a singular event and also features images of amateurs and professionals and doesn’t draw a distinction between them. In the United States, all racers suffer on the same track on any given day. In that respect, American cyclocross paints amateurs and pros with essentially the same brush. The book is about what it is to race cyclocross and what goes into it, as opposed to a year in review. Contributors to the project include Molly Cameron, National Champions Gage Hecht, Clara Honsinger, and Stephen Hyde and edited by poet Laura Winberry who also contributes original works.
