Cyclocross - CX and SSCX races and training

Great to hear.

From memory you dont live too far from me? Would be nice to do some cx laps or riding together.

So after very little sleep decided to go to the hospital, I have either soft tissue and or suspected scaphoid fracture. Apparently they don’t always show up on X-rays and or can take time to present!?
Have a wrist support and an appointment with the fracture clinic next week. Ironic given I thought I’d less likely get a serious injury on cyclocross than track.

Less than ideal

Average HR of 175 on your first CX race? You weren’t going hard enough!

That's rotten luck. I hope it's just a soft tissue injury as scaphoid fractures take a long time to heal (as Tadej Pogacar can testify).

Good photo of you here @GoatandTricycle

Ha thanks for that, images can deceive! :-)

Hey Josh, yes! I’m still Harborne based. I will be more than happy to share trips and races with you. I am on the process to fit a tow bar and tow rack to my car to easily accommodate two bikes! Text me your mobile and I am sure will have some together!

What’s the context or meaning of this in the summer cross email?

There have been a couple of tedious incidents with riders crashing the tape, which is idiotic, but mostly you’ve all been great and it’s been worth our trouble

don't crash into the tape - it's annoying for course markers to repair

Well yeah, but kinda suggests people do it intentionally? Also thanks for the DAS, I’ll assume the other remark was a case of mistaken identity not an intended insult ;-)

Ha - misreading the thread so yes, sorry! Again this Friday?

Nadda

Might be there cheering on tho

Michael, who organises the series, is a bit of a misanthrope. That's the main context.

Would you like to play again?
You have selected 'No'

Please don't ask me why I made this

Can I borrow your bike then?

I mean if you are over 6ft sure…

Can't be Betsema's bike, not enough of a spacer stack.

5’9” and ambitious

Ha!

It's really not that big a deal. I dunno why he's so upset about it. People aren't doing it intentionally 🤷‍♂️

Just tie it back together and get on with heckling. It's all part of the joy of marshalling.

Ha I had a comment from a Marshall saying don’t drop your chain this time. It sounded motivational but it also cut

does anyone have some SPDs I could borrow for the summer cx tomorrow night? Mine seem to have died a last minute death

Which one died? My right went the other day, don't suppose you need a left?

Lordgun has good deals on Vittoria Terreno Dry/Mix/Wet tyres (G2 TNT) at the moment, shipping is from EU, so above £135 total order value you get charged VAT. Also, shipping is £9.50 ish, which kinda works out as £2/tyre if ordering 5, which is just below £135 at their current prices.
