What is cyclocross?

Yes, just what is cyclocross or CX for short? Well, some people on the net call it '1 hour in hell' but they are Americans and I won't get started on that topic.

Here you can take a look for yourself...


So why do I love CX so much? Why does this horribly tough sport = cykelglädje for me? Let's make a list:

1. I seem to be better at CX than MTB.
2. I am Canadian so the cold weather is fine for me.
3. MCKs uniforms are white and it is fun to cover them in mud.
4. Telling people that I have to jump off the bike, pick it up and then run up stairs with it over my shoulder sounds crazy so people think I am crazy. And that is the impression I want to make. =)
5. For some reason I am half-decent at running so I can pass people.
6. Training now will help me for next season and also helps me avoid thinking that it is dark here all winter.

It is just fun...try it yourself and you just might love it also.
