About Me
- What is Cyclocross
- Cyclo-Cross got its start in Europe as training for road racers in the ‘off-season’ and pre-dates mountain biking by 3 decades, easily. Typically held in the fall and early winter months, Cyclo-Cross starts up just as the leaves turn on their vibrant colors. Resembling a circus more than a bike race is what one concludes while watching racers dismount their bikes, run over a wooden set of barriers and then re-mount their bike. This happens several times per lap along with racing across pavement, gravel, sand, grassy fields and of course mud! Mud and frozen ground are common sites in a Cyclo-Cross race due to the time of year. A typical ‘Cross’ race is approximately 2 miles or less (much like a criterium), held in open fields for easy spectating, wide enough of a course for easy passing and visibility and, lastly, the famous ‘run-up’ sections. These are, normally, un-ridable sections of steep short hills that often, at times, include some wooden barriers that must be dismounted to go over. Races are anywhere from 30 minutes to 60 minutes in length depending on the class you choose to enter. Plan on racing anywhere from 6 to 12 laps.
