Cyclo-Cross Recap

Short legs make for bad crossers. Good cyclo-crossers make it look incredibly easy. Dry courses (Saturday) are much easier to ride than wet, sandy, muddy ones (today). Running in sand sucks - but running in sand with your bike on your shoulder.... impossible and energy-depleting. Mountain bikers are more courteous than cyclo-crossers. Road bikers are too skinny. Running, biking, and jumping over stuff makes you really exhausted. People watching cross races shouldn't drink the free coffee. My shoulder hurts from carrying my bike - lifting 20 lbs. repeatedly on your shoulder hurts. I like cross.
