It wasn’t me, it was @r0bb0
Summer cross races are a novelty event in my opinion, essentially grass crits in the main. They should be about encouraging participation and introducing cross to people who’ve not tried it before. For the experienced riders it’s a chance to assess your fitness and give your skills a brush off, and, as there are no BC points on offer, should be enjoyed.
Too many experienced riders take it far too seriously. They need to chill out.

What was people’s exact issue with you riding this? That they got whipped by a guy in baggies on a track bike, or that you didn’t have a brake?
I’ve not been a cx commissaire for ages but I don’t remember a rule against fixed- only that you’d need an extra brake?
