difference between cyclocross and dirt crit?

[Zen]

Those that used their cyclocross bikes had to dismount prior to the creek crossing. Some also weren't able to clear the few logs on the other side of the creek (Lone Wolf).

Depends on the rider, i guess.
I watched cross racers ride over log obstacles ( a stack of three, i think) and thru water crossings.

Zen - the creek crossing was about 18" deep. The logs came as you climbed up a hill after crossing the creek. Folks were saying that it wasn't easy to remount after the creek and get enough speed up to clear the logs on the climb. I think it was just the setting.

fastdogs - Pfoodman (sponsors of event) allowed shops to show case their products. I was the only shop there - all the better for me. We were just showing some mtn bikes with blow out prices - I want the 2009 product and need to move inventory.

"mtn bikes with blow out prices "
that's what I suspected. I averted my eyes and made myself not look as I went past.
