Cyclocross - CX and SSCX races and training

I believe so.

Put it all out there from the start and managed to gap my league rival.
He then lost a place on the last lap.

So that should almost definitely slingshot my out of 3rd and into 2nd.

Time for some rest

Well done!

I don't want the season to end, am going really well at the moment, even managed to get a top ten (tenth) today!

Nicely done

Was watching your race as I warmed up. Looked like you were going well!

Well done on a great race and season 💪 I went back to my shop and fixed my tyre then went for a ride offroad. Hit a rock crashed so managed to trash a skinsuit and a pair of gloves aswell as a tyre. My new bike is OK though as I took the hit 🤕Should have fucking stayed indoors

Jesus. Maybe take the rest of February off

Very much a love/hate relationship with cross for me nothing inbetween. Currently not loving but 4 pints down and I'm already feeling better about today . I don't usually sulk for long. Good to meet you briefly earlier

Well done everyone. Gutted to have missed it, cross bike currently has a serious ouchy so fingers crossed for it!!
Are there any other races left between now and summer league? I might be away for summer league as well :-(

Are there any other races left between now and summer league?

Sadly not.

What's up with the Canyon?

Shame.
Had a fork replacement.

Kitchen extension will likely mean only one bike accessible, likely that I’ll have to go from 3 to two bikes longer term too so weighing up what to do.

.... Don't extend the kitchen.

Haha…Think that might be more detrimental to my cycling

Fuck guys. What do I do now?

Have a break. Then start training for summer cross.

Select XC Races?

I'm going to race most of the National XCO series. Along with a few SouthernXC and other nearish races.

Will make a proper for sale post with photos etc. in due course, but quick heads up that I'm thinking about selling my MY23 Crux Pro in 56cm- brand new and completely unridden. £4k.

Fuck me, thought £4k was spendy then spotted that the RRP is £7k

How did we get here?

Don't like at high end MTB prices...

Assume top-end Santa Cruz now yields little change from £20k

Top of the range is £11k.

Making mine a veritable bargain

Does it come with the rainbow jersey?

I heard that Eli travelled to a race in a Ferrari recently - is that where our money is going?

they're not that expensive in his size tbf

MAAP London Summercross dates are the 5th, 12th, 19th and 26th of July.

Oooh bit earlier might be viable

Toon Aerts back in action this weekend
