Cyclocross - CX and SSCX races and training

I was thinking of the area around the Lady Di water feature thing.

But yeah, might need some landscaping work.

You missed the boat.

Who did I spot on Kynaston Road this morning in a SSCXEU Brighton shirt?

I don't know, but if it's a large and they want to swap for a medium, tell them to hit me up.

Who's racing tomorrow? Might pop down and heckle, if some forum faces are about.

@Howard @andyp @Ramsaye @Jon. etc

Are you making your CX debut @amey ?

I'm riding, not sure my fitness levels are up to calling it racing.

I'm torn between racing and a free bar. I'm kind of obliged to go to the free bar.

Yep got an entry.

Tough call

Is the race held in lower half of the park? Top bit looks like football pitches.

Hoped to make it but work is too hectic to get out on time

I'm course building and marshalling, so I'll be there but no racing.

As you managed to deduce from my diagram, it's in the north-west half of the park, unfortunately the rest is off limits to us.

Where's tomorrow? I'm signed up for Beckenham Place Park only.

Leyton. Jubilee Park.

File Tread (not sure on make, but they're cheap ones) or Mud Tyres (Clement PDX) for tomorrow? I assume the former unless last nights storm has munched the ground up significantly.

If only I owned a halfway house tyre, but alas.

Definetly file treads. There are a few off-camber sections which might get a bit slippery if there's a biblical thunderstorm during the race, but other than that they'll have the advantage.

Perfect - I won't be bothering the scorers so not crucial but good not to hinder myself anymore than my lack of fitness does already.

I want to but I am in Alps .. I think 3rd would be my debut .. I will be shit, I have ZERO skills.

If the course is anything like the one they used just after Christmas, you won't be needing much in the way of skills.

A really technical course is my only hope of not coming last. It basically needs to be Red Bull Rampage...

Ability to bust switch method airs off the ramp?

Has the LCCA 2017/2018 calendar been released yet?

Yes, see here;
