Cyclocross - CX and SSCX races and training

So, the tyres are being ordered this week and the Tonic is back in cross mode for the "winter". I do, however, need to get some practice in before getting competitive. Anyone else in the same spot? Or anyone more experienced fancy watching me fall off and giving me some pointers?

Was talking to Howard a out doing a forum ride on the '3 pimples' route. Also he mentioned an all day training session sometime next month.

^^ I'd be up for a ride.. Dr Cake mentioned the training might be on 15/9 but I've googled to no avail.

Right - schedule sorted.

Anyone fancy...

Saturday 31st Aug 9am RICHMOND PARK. Bike set-up, CX basics and skills. 2.5 hrs. Meet at the cafe at 9am sharp.

Saturday 14th September 9am CRYSTAL PALACE STATION. Three Pimples Ride - basic skills and fitness. 3.5 hrs max. Meet at CP station for a 9am departure.

(CXL training or LL race on the 15th Sept)

Saturday 12th October 10am CHINGFORD STATION. Epping Forest - technical skills practice; roots, lumps, drops, mud. 3.5 hrs max. Meet at Chingford Station at 10amish for a 10.30 sharp start.

Please PM me if you want to come along. These are all part of my training schedule so I'll be doing these regardless.

To set expectations: am not a CX pro or a professional coach. I'm just some guy who races a bit of XC and CX.
