I did one - yes ONE Cyclocross race in the UK. It is by far the hardest "cycling" event I've ever done.

 

It went like this: start horn sounded - heart rate went to max - stayed there for 90 minutes - I collapsed at the finish in a useless pile of sweaty flesh.

 

It is a fine mix of road racing, mountain biking, mud collection, cross country running and falling (nobody gets away clean) - all done at sprint pace.

 

Pity they don't have a series over here...

jig, they have more s#$t mud on them than uncle Basson's fries milking cows near Malmesbury in June

 

Good to see Pokerface as well!

 

Expect PM with news within a week
