Cyclocross - CX and SSCX races and training

See you there 👍

Rude not to ..

Did you make this amey? I didn't spot the gold blingwagon

no, apparently there is this thing called 'the housing ladder' and I am supposed to take steps up it .. :'(

I know man ..

Tricky conditions yesterday: greasy on the grass and sandy in the woods under the protection of the canopy. Saw plenty of crashes. Really liked the change of course from normal, splitting the hill in half introduced a bumpy, high-speed, technical corner and a bit more elevation (with 20 seconds to recover inbetween).

It'll be interesting to see what they change for the second race there, anyone have any idea why they stopped using the other side of the park?

Hy/rd brakes. Are they substantially better than spyres?

no

Money saved.

maybe wait for a second opinion but my spyres + compressionless cables are great. But for cross get cantis!

Go full hydro

Not going back to canti.

Will maybe go full hydro next year when budget allows .

Anyone looking for a small but rad cross bike? The lime green 48cm kinesis is up for sale.

Uhh you have photos? I have a colleague with tiny GF..

Looks like this - crosslight 5 disc

Will take better pics at some point

Has Rival 1X10 on it and juintec hybrid disc brakes

I went to the @eyebrows school of selling stuff

Could do it for less without wheels.

15:00 UK time I think?

Wait. 14:00 2pm.

Eastern league in Chelmsford was the annual reminder to sharpen up my dismounts with 5 per lap. All followed by hard accelerations as the rest of the course was so fast. @Ramsaye looked like he was having lots of fun too.

Ha, fun. Funny.

It was the kind of course that reminded me I should have done some training pre-season and I shouldn't get pissed the night before a race.

Kept cramping up then on the last half a lap the left calf completely knotted. Could barely remount and I was in total agony. Collapsed after the line and had a steward stretching me out. I can barely walk today such is the aftermath.

See you Saturday at round 2.

Where is round 2 in the eastern league at?
