    Is CX really that popular that it warrants a summer series?

    Part of the joy for me is the intensity of the season due to its short time span. As well as mud, rain, etc…

    File treads for this time of year, something from Vittoria or Challenge should work a treat.

    Marshalling home event. It’s greasy grass with some banks so what ever you got with a bit of grip

    I’ll be there (Cannondale SuperX riding in Arrow Cycles kit), it’s a great series, lots of fun, really well attended. The first few rounds last year were complete mud baths but we haven’t had the rain this year thankfully. Didn’t get to ride this course last year as I broke a pedal in practice so looking forward to the hills, cambered banks and the sandpit.

    I’ll be riding as it’s also my ‘home’ event too (Hudds Star Wheeler), although I’ll be near the back on my MTB – black, rigid, Kinesis Maxlight 26er if you want to say hi. My sole aim is to avoid being lapped by a club-mate and I’ll be grafting like buggery in the process. CX is good fun, but by hell it hurts!

    about 150 riders….so guess so.

    I’m not taking this too serious – training (beats the turbo any day)!

    will be on Paul Milnes Blue/Yellow bike / Horwich CC kit

    I’m looking forward to it…but I think I may have forgot the pain since Winter 😯

    Well done Sefton – 50th is a top effort fella. I just failed to scrape in the top 100 (102nd), but I didn’t get lapped by a clubmate, which was my main objective.
