I've been thinking about trying out cyclocross this fall 2010 and wanted to know what tips everyone has for training or what your routines are.

I have a friend who races and he told me of a park a bunch of cross racers go to train, but wanted to know some good exercises to do on my own the days they don't practice.

I'm into cross training at the gym as well and wanted to know of any specific routines people do to improve their racing.
