Just got back from a round of the cyclo-cross world cup in Belgium and it was fantastic.

The course was very twisty and doubled back on itself with a couple of hills, and from the top you could see the riders about 5 times. This was my first experience of watching cyclo-cross and it was very exciting.

BUT... on this occasion I am more than happy to just spectate. It looks soooooo hard and I know I'd get in such a mess with the dismount/ re-mount thing.

Road riding is great, mtb is great, but cyclo-cross? Think I'll just carry on cheering others and enjoying the Belgium beer.
