Cyclocross - CX and SSCX races and training

Collection in person from Derbyshire though.

That would be a good training ride from yours

I'm running cantis anyhow

You race without brakes 😂

They have internal nipples which is a bit of a pain too. But the do look pretty

Has the pro season started? Where's best to watch some whilst I rehab on the turbo rathe tthan race myself 😒

GCN or Eurosport, they're covering pretty much every race including some of US races

First 'proper' race in about 3 and a half years yesterday at LXL Round 2 at Pippingford Manor.

Finished, wasn't last, somehow binned it into the gravel towards end of the first lap after miscalculating the dip after the climb out of the woods, but got away with fairly superficial wounds compared to track crashes I've had.

Great race and great stewarding/organising by Crawley Wheelers.

And @leggy_blonde got a podium too!

F.U.N.

Looking forward to Palace next week.

Thanks mate

Well got my arsed kicked on Saturday. Just back of middle of the pack in CCXL at MK bowl. Guess a summer of JRA then 4 weeks of turbo stuff is no prep for a CX season. My bike handling in particular sucks.

It was good to see you! And was it was only a "podium" because @fredtc has too many watts and snapped his chain at the start...

@RecoveryRide that course was so hard. It felt like no recovery whatsoever.

Leggy Blonde clearly "pinging" at the moment

Another weekend with no racing for me. Bad sinuses mean I'm solely mouth breathing...

On the plus side, got my bike finished and test ridden today. Rear rim is cracked, will race it till it dies.

@leggy_blonde thought it was just me. And bloody bumpy with the ground being so hard and dry. This week off then Corby…

Welcome to the club!

And you!

Hell of a ride from @fredtc

Got my bike all ready for central league, tubeless set up, the works, woke up with a reoccurring sore neck so couldn't race in the end was well disappointed, hope to race soon.

thanks - was an amazing course. Even from the first moment you came in to that view it was brilliant. And the cheesey chips!!!

Well done @leggy_blonde and @notoriousBMT

looking forward to Crystal Palace this Sunday now. Anyone else racing?

I will be making my much anticipated season debut.

wahey, who needs wout and mattheiu! what time's your start?

It will be my 5th race of the season! I won't be doubling up this weekend....

11:30 I think.

What's the deal with spectators? I'd like to see one of these races take place. Can you cycle to them?

Yeah, definitely just turn up. They're in public parks so it's always free. Not sure the racing is all that good though.

London Calendar is here http://www.londonxleague.co.uk/calendar/

This Sunday's race is at Crystal Palace Park, Anerley Hill, Sydenham, London, SE20 8DT

Timetable tends to be the attached
