They look like silly lads to me. Ban it.
Ever wondered what's the appeal of cyclocross?

Hinault used to do cx races in the off season
So did Les West, or how about Wort Can Aert.

Beryl Burton did cyclocross. Nuff said.
I did my first event (no racing for me) at 50, and I have never been so knackered in my life. I have also never smiled/laughed so much either. If you have a bike that you don't mind getting dirty then it is worth just trying it once as some the courses are in quite nice venues rather than just laps of a taped off muddy field. Beware though, those young-uns are so blinkin quick.

Tried it once.
Reminded me of those nature films about salmon leaping up river. Not that bit though - the bit at the end where the salmon are all flapping about in the mud and dying.
I didn't quite come last!

I have done two races , first one I got lapped 3 times, second race only once ! However courses very similar to that first video, pure mud fest !

The only thing missing there is the Benny Hill theme tune...
I don't 'get' it, but then I don't get Football, Rugby, Basketball, Cross country...

Dead right.
I don't criticise those who love these pastimes; on the contrary I'm glad we are all different... Wouldn't it be boring otherwise?
Absolutely.. When I see Cavers/Pot-Holers crawling through those tight spaces and diving under stagnant water not knowing what is on the other side, I always thing 'no way', but each to there own eh!
