Sorry, I just don't get it.

I do go and watch my mates daughter compete, which is fun but they aren't sliding down in mud like hippos.

I also wonder how they keep their rear mech on the bike? :wacko:

Sometimes they don't.

A good cross course can be a right laugh though. More should try it.
More a spectator sport for me I reckon. I was at the British Cycling Let's Ride in Glasgow on Sunday and some geezers were trying to convince me to give cycling speedway a go. There was a bit of a needle match between Glasgow and Edinburgh that did look like good fun.

I don’t either. It should be mountain bike riding off road or road bikes on road. Growing sport though, massive in places like Belgium.

No river crossing nowadays, I remember one at Enfield that was quite deep and the surrounding area was covered in snow.
