The Chris Cross rule
Finally that big application is sent in and I can return to having some normal life with no money. But training should be possible.
I was reading through the guide for race organizers on the CX Sweden page and I found it quite good. I especially like that it is clearly stated that this is not MTB and that it should be possible to ride the course carefully on a LVG bike. Did you see that CK Lunedi? Maybe that is why Jkpg disappeared from the schedule entirely.
And then we have the Chris Cross rule...as soon as the winner crosses the finish line, everyone else finishes the lap they are on. So I don't have to hold up the start of the next race by needing to do my extra lap in order to get points. I am generally lapped around 30 min into the race.
It is better to be clear with this since sometimes I did have to do the extra lap and sometimes I did not. Since I like to go full out on my last lap, it would be good to know just when that lap will be. Unfortunately, it also means that you can stay on the course, punka 5 times and just walk around in general and still get points. So I suspect there will be less DNFs.
