Cyclocross - CX and SSCX races and training

I thought runnier mud was preferable for bike functionality?

didn't know Toon Aerts had returned to racing in the London League!

Look alike but that's where the similarities end unfortunately 😞

Definitely, but you play with the hand you've been dealt.

Some v50 pics up now i don't know if your in any of them but it's hard to tell as everyone is camouflaged by mud

I'm not, probably because I had the hump and wasn't particularly photogenic.

Weather put me off coming in the end.

Any recommendations for a bar in central Brussels that’s likely to be showing the Merksplas race later?

Sweek is looking so good at the mo!

Sporting of pidcock to drop to the back of the pack off the start line to give everyone else a chance today.

Good to see LvdH on the podium! Where can we get highlights these days?

GCN/Eurosport.

lol

I'm sure I'm being really stupid, but where on GCN are the highlights of cross races? I can only ever find the full races. They're not that long so generally do watch, but would love to watch quick highlights sometimes when time is tight.

Sadly I don’t think they package them separately, but they usually show a two minute recount of the race at the end of the live show.

…. Well done team number 50 in the Madison Cross today …. not many out there on single gears …. and less going as fast … ! Well done …

Thanks, that was @pastry_bot. and I. I think there was one other pairing on singlespeed and we caught them mid-race and managed to put enough of a gap into them over the remaining laps.

Nothing like selling cheese before Xmas for finding form.

Hey thanks! Herne hill is a pretty good course for single speed I reckon, no long sapping hills and few straights where you can run out of gears. I love HH as a course, it's always different and the crowd was small but vocal in that back section!

Results from Sunday are here.

Pretty pleased with 17th seeing as I lost my chain within 200 metres of the start and put us in the back half of the field.

Great little video from Sunday, which captures the ambience of the event well:
