As you say, just turn up and buy a day license. That said why not join a club, ours is £12 a year with many benifits.

I rode cross in the same skinsuit I use for time trialling during the summer. Maybe but seldom long fingered gloves.

If you feel the cold in a cross race then you are not trying hard enough, sadly we no longer have river crossings involved so it is now a bit softer.

Better than Downton Abbey.

Long story. Joined a club this year (for TT) but not been there at all for various reasons. I assume there aren't specific Cyclocross Clubs?

I ride a 54cm Specialized Secteur on the road. Am I likely to want a smaller (say 52cm) Cyclocross bike?

Any Cyclocrossers near Warwick?

Cheers

Well. looks like I have got myself a Cyclocross bike. I've just won a Scott Team CX 2008 on eBay.

I'm now looking for an event to enter. Anyone on here fancy being my mentor / guide for (and before) my first race? I'll pop another thread up asking the question.

Cheers

Central League is what you want to look at. There'll be a race somewhere most Sundays.
