Cyclocross - CX and SSCX races and training

This year I cut my season short to go to Mallorca for 4 weeks for warm weather, smooth roads, and lots of climbing. If only those 4 weeks could have been before my first race.

Looking back at my season. I've learnt a few things.

• I spent almost as much time cleaning my bike as racing it.
  
• SSCX probably wont be much slower than my 10SCX setup this season.
  
• SSCX will probably be a lot quicker to clean.
  
• Mud isn't nutritious. I need to eat more before races.
