Cyclocross in the snow

A great watch

Thanks for posting - some proper skills on display there. I've raced in snow - it's fiendishly difficult.

You can always pick up some good tips by watching the pros, descending on the arse has something going for it under those conditions.

Just told Mrs Dave that I want a cyclocross bike!

That looked to be really hard going and although there several crashes I would have expected many more given the conditions. It just goes to show the difference between the pro's and us mere mortals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, it's fun in the snow, but it still hurts hitting the ground when it's frozen at -3!!!!!
(been there, done it 'on & off' since the very early 90's to about 2008)

But what still amazes me is how there's so little drama about the offs; they just get straight back on their bikes without even dusting themselves down.

Yes, there's maybe a cursory glance at the bike to check there's now damage (especially those of us who only used one bike & no spare wheels)

Looks fun!
