    I've never tried cyclocross, but if I wanted to try it I'd ask the folks at my LBS for advice on how to get started, since I know they support cross races. If you don't know a bike shop in your area, maybe the websites for the local races list one or two as race sponsors. Good luck!

    - Gray 2010 carbon WSD road bike, Rivet Independence saddle
    - Red hardtail 26" aluminum mountain bike, Bontrager Evoke WSD saddle
    - Royal blue 2018 aluminum gravel bike, Rivet Pearl saddle

    Gone but not forgotten:
    - Silver 2003 aluminum road bike
    - Two awesome worn out Juliana saddles

    +1 on ny_biker's suggestion. Check this site: http://www.cxnation.com/clinics/

    Often, teams hold open practices that they allow others to join. That was the case in the Chicago area (my former neighborhood) and, to some extent, in DC. You could contact some of the local teams or race organizers. Clinics tend to happen at the start of the cyclocross season, though (August, September).

    There is a great amount of videos in youtube. I like the how-to's from GCN:
