Cyclocross - CX and SSCX races and training

Koksijde World Cup this weekend.

Yaasssss

Went over there to watch last year...but gale force storm stopped play. Gutted.

Didn’t stop racing at Ardingly.

Which I’m missing on Sunday as have to do solo dadding. Which is annoying, as I love that course.

Looks like I’m missing Happy Valley part deux too, thanks to rail replacement buses.

Hopefully it is on Sunday as there is MK on Saturday!

Watched that corner bizness up there again this afternoon. That was a great race.

Namur sprung to my mind, rutty descent, very tricky (from 5m15s):

New to cross. Just wondering if the HHV trails are free to smash around? Can't find a calender for it.

Might have missed a reply but I'd also like to know this

They're not, unfortunately.

Looks like I’m missing Happy Valley part deux too, thanks to rail replacement buses.

Come to Bedfont Lakes (Central League) instead - 10 mins ride from Feltham Station (probably an hour's ride from Central London).

I'm running it, so it'll be awesome!

Was deffo the worlds.

What is the course of Sunday's London League race like? Worth making the trip?

I think an hours ride from central is a bold claim but I'll be coming- there are regular trains from Waterloo and as Andy mentioned Happy Valley is off the cards due to engineering works...

Yes, I think so. I really like the course, a good mix of fast, flowing sections plus some technical bits to test your skills, especially downhill off camber turns.

Might have to take you up on that, looks doable for me.

Ta. Need to get clearance. If that is secured, would anyone want to share fuel from North London? I could take two bikes (as well as mine).

Yas Pls

Anyone coming to Abergavenny for Crosstober on 28-29 October? UCI event & R2 of UK National CX Series.

Sunday's racing is live on TV!

Online entries for Bedfont lakes here - entries close next Tuesday. Unlimited entry on the day (and day licences if required) but you won't get gridded.

Let's see if I can post the course map:

Done. Can you get to Stoke Newington for about 11.30?

Yep - that early enough to beat the traffic you think?

Tom Pidcock has started doing Tom Pidcock things in Belgium

Haters are gonna hate pretty soon if he is better than van da har.

don't think so, may the best man win! cool pic

It seemed rather silly to pump a tyre without tube. Anyway Vittoria do not pop on the Pacenti with trackpump. Any other ideas or compressor required?

Google gives me about 1 hour 30 and the men's race starts after 2. Enough leeway?

Dunno. Feels a little tight if something goes wrong.
