Happy New Year!
I shot Crusher in the Tushar 8 times out of the 10 years and had the honour of shooting the Tenth Edition in 2021. I had a chat with Burke before the year ended - I have decided to pass the photog baton in 2022.
I loved working with Burke Swindlehurst, the volunteers and Mrs. Crusher Tiffany Swindlehurst, teaming up with my photo moto drivers especially the last couple of editions with Tim Schaars and being surrounded by lots of friends and cycling family including DNACycling & my riders on DNA Pro Cycling Team, the announcers, the Lead Moto driver, my husband, Alex Kim.
I enjoyed sharing my images of Crusher with you all every year and proud to have contributed in getting Crusher featured in all major media outlets and published in a few magazines/books.
Wishing all you Crushers out there the best and perhaps I'll be back to shoot it again at some point but for now I leave you with a pretty big 2021 gallery to get you all fired up for the 11th edition! Thank you -- Sox / Catherine Fegan Kim

Such a rad feeling to be shooting for a team in the yellow jersey - more so because it's my 3rd year working with Elevate KHS Pro Cycling Team and they have come close a few times in the past :).

James Piccoli donned the Yellow Leaders Jersey after his win at Tour of Utah Prologue today!

CRUSHER by Cotton Sox

Crusher 2018 was 2 weeks ago so enough time has passed for the racers to start forgetting all the pain, the hate, the thought that was on repeat for 69 miles: "I will never do this again" & they are already thinking about the gearing for next year's Crusher :). I hope you all checked out my photo essays & galleries for Velonews, Cycling Tips, CX Mag & Gravel Cyclist - if not scroll down this Cotton Sox FB page for the links. I made this album as a thank you to all you Crushers that make my day epic every year. There are a lot here but there are a couple of 1000s more photos on my website so when you have time - go there... and no I do not organize photos by your race numbers or anything fancy. See you all next year! https://www.cottonsoxphotography.net/Crusher-In-The-Tushar-2018
