Love the video!
I dunno up here in Wisco we have some pretty gnarly conditions. We've had quite a few races get canceled this year because there ends up being a giant lake of muddy water from all the rain. There usually ends up being some non-official race in a different, but equally muddy location.

I'm not a cross racer yet, but have lots of friends that do it. I'm waiting to get a new bike in the spring. Then i'll ride all summer and hope I can start competing! We have a lot of female racers and it's pretty big around Madison and Milwaukee.

We even have our own women's off road biking association. It's a really awesome biking community here.

I'd have to say we between Oregon and Wisconsin I don't know who's crazier about the sport haha.
