• I have a trail centre an hour away, but plenty of cross within a few miles radius! So Im always out playing.

    @andyp I live in birmingham and we have a west midlands cyclocross leauge, so im guessing thats my main entry point! regarding training, Im a 3rd year applied sport science student and my dissertation iis on HIIT and cyclcross athletes so I have training programmes coming out my ears! But its always good to get real life opinions on this stufff, beause science can only tell you half the story!

    @Howard Im awful at remounting, I can dismount like a pro, but getting back on is embarassing to watch. Need to work on that

    @biarittz @Chalfie Yeah ive heard they are brutal but fun, I doubt ill get any good results (race wise) but personally if i finish without dying ill be happy

  • Woah! We've got a real expert here, folks.

    You should be telling us what training to do!

    if i finish without dying ill be happy

    This is my new goal for each race, replacing the 'don't get lapped' goal.

  • haha, like I said racing on paper and racing in real life are two completly different beasts!

    Im just going to take my knowledge and all the advice I can get, put it in a magic blender and see what the outcome is!!

    yeah, I cant imagine getting lapped is fun!
