Well you can, but....uhhhh heehee

Anyone else race cyclocross here? Went on my first cross ride of the season with two of my teammates (both have brand new cross bikes). I'm stoked for the season to begin. It was very interesting to see how my fitness has improved since last summer. We ride at a mtn bike trail with some steep climbs and I was able to ride everything. Last year, I did some hiking (blamed it on the cross gearing, not the lack of fitness). Small victory but I'll take it.

Anyways, lots of fun. Rode the trails, then I taught my teammates how to mount & dismount and we practiced skills for about 20 minutes.

Hey, Jeff & Susan! How about a cyclocross forum?

I like that idea too. I don't know much at all about cyclocross, but would like to, so a thread all its own to ask questions in would be great.

Sounds fun, Velogirl....good job on the fitness improvement. That's a great feeling, huh?

Having bought a 'cross bike earlier this year purely for the versatility of it, I'd love to see folks discussing it here so I can learn more about it. I definitely plan to get out and watch some races this fall.

It could be very entertaining to see velogirl post back and forth to herself about it, though...

Don't feel alone - I'm a cyclocrosser ! I'll talk to you if no one else will!

It's great fun! Although I haven't started practicing yet. Our season starts here around October sometime. So, I'm just riding my mountain bike mostly this time of year. The trails are great cause we get rain this time of the year and they are tacky and fun.
