Hare Scrambles gets the Sebastião Salgado treatment by wonderful photographer, Ms Rebecca Soderholm, in today’s New York Times:

Hare Scramble
“Off-road racers and spectators like me spend days knee deep in mud holes and covered in clouds of dust.”
NYTs.com, By Rebecca Soderholm. 12/19/20. Ms. Soderholm is a photographer.

These are pastoral yet hardscrabble landscapes; the people who participate can fix an engine while cooking steak over a campfire and juggling toddlers.

I spend days knee deep in mud holes and often disappear in clouds of dust. At a race along the Pennsylvania-West Virginia border, a stranger called me Pig-Pen. A veteran race photographer offered sage advice: Wait until the mud dries before scraping it off your camera.

Some of those shots are spectacular. I especially like the one of the family hustling across the track. You can imagine the moment before, last bike passes on Mom says "RUN!":laughing
