Good luck jowwy, will be interested to read about the race later, make sure there are pics of the muddy state of you
In fairness to the noble sport of CX (and TT!), only 2 road rides and 3 turbo sessions since June isn't really training for anything other than actually starting training for next year!Sorry guys no pics and not really much to report. After only riding twice and doing 3 turbo sessions since june. I blew up big time after 2 laps and 14mins into the race.....it was a real eye opener, think i will stick to TTs
Your defo right colin....but as i agreed to enter i didnt want to go back on my word and let people downIn fairness to the noble sport of CX (and TT!), only 2 road rides and 3 turbo sessions since June isn't really training for anything other than actually starting training for next year!
In a year's time, you might really enjoy a CX race.
No thanksGilwern is a tough course for any level. Pembrey next week is a much better option - mostly flat, 100% rideable and guaranteed no mud.
Come to Pembrey and I will buy you a tea.
No thanks
Don't sack it off Jonwy. Youve picked a hard time of year for your first CX. Try it in late August/ early September when it's firmer under foot.Sorry guys no pics and not really much to report.

Was going to be my first attempt as its my local course. But I got injured and can't get on a bike at present, but I may go and watch as my mate will be riding.Gilwern is a tough course for any level. Pembrey next week is a much better option - mostly flat, 100% rideable and guaranteed no mud.

You did the hard bit by just getting out there, some training, a few tips off the seasoned cx'ers on here and you'll be good to go again.Sorry guys no pics and not really much to report.
