Cyclocross - CX and SSCX races and training

Whilst I'm here, I'm in the market for a pair of summer/dry conditions clinchers. I've had Vittoria XNs, which are a bit meh, and Clement LAS, which don't really seal on tubeless rims, so am considering something different.

As a confirmed fan of Michelin Muds, their Jets are on my list but is there anything else I should consider? They have to be tubeless friendly.

yeah, TRP are just Tektro's "racing division". I used the TRP 8.4's for a bit but moved back to cantilevers as they had no modulation or mud clearance. Good for commuting, less good for racing.

Schwalbe Sammy Slick perhaps? Never used them but tyres I've had from Schwalbe in the past have had chunky sidewalls that should seal up.

They have to be tubeless friendly

Yeah try the Sammy Slicks - as Jon says Schwalbe have their tubeless game nailed.

(Having said that, they don't seem to make a tubeless specific version)

Sadly no round at Footscray, the longest running race in the UK I believe. Three rounds at Cyclopark though!

ugh, I failed miserably at the cyclopark race last year. Better hope I can get to grips with it this year, literally, in the case of some of those run-ups I was sliding down.

Shame to see Footscray go.

You weren't the only one

Three Peaks entrants confirmed today. Anyone get in? not me. 50/50 disappointed/relieved.

I didn't get a place either :(

I didn't bother trying to enter

This looks like an epic mess up

Montreal round of world cup cancelled because funding not secured.

Feel bad for HotSauce Mark, (Self funded Canadian rider) I'm sure he'd have liked to race in his home country!

Anyone for the summer series training stuff tonight ?

@Ecunard what is the summer series training? I have just got a sscx build together and need some practice!

Last one is this Tuesday at Herne Hill, 7-9 pm.

Thanks @andyp I will pop down!
Messaged the organiser about it as I couldn't see any more info on tinternet but didn't get a response.

and then the Summer Series starts the following Thursday (23rd) at Bethlem.

Just turn up a bit before 7 to sign up. Costs £7 and is very good and as challenging as you want it to be.

I'll be there again tonight, looking forward to having a go at some cyclocross racing at the summer league :) I need to sort a bike still, if anyone has a 56cm/medium ish cyclocross bike for sale, do get on touch.

Just found out I actually am free tonight.. Are there bikes to borrow? and can you put your own pedals on?

bottom of this page http://www.summerseries.co.uk/ it says some bikes are available for women/under23s, guess go early to make sure you get one.

@zeez they do long-term loans on the British cycling bikes for people planning to do the leagues so talk to the coaches to see if it's possible

Yes there are bikes to borrow, and yes you can change the pedals. Be ace to see you there :D

Thanks for the info @laner, will ask them about loaning one for the summer series.

Does anyone know if and when you can use the cycloX track at Herne hill? Have looked on the website and emailed but not heard back. Can you just rock up and use it, if its not be used, or can I pay to use it?

Any info would be great.

I don't think you can use it outside of the official cross training sessions.

If you're looking for somewhere to train then Bethlem is a good choice.
