Cyclo-Cross again
After giving it up about 4 years ago, mainly due to shift pattern.
I think I might try a couple of forthcoming races, both are Yorkshire Cyclo-Cross Association events
September 22nd; Thornes Park, Wakefield
October 6th; Temple Newsam, Leeds
The main reasons I gave it up were shift-patterns, & cost......being a parsimonious (tight-fisted?) Yorkshireman, & fell-running was a lot cheaper!!
But, at the moment, I have no planned races on those days, & have ridden both courses in the past quite a few times (preferred Newsam, when it was in Avenue Woods though - the Bullerthorpe Lane side)
I'll just have to dig the cross-bike out, & get practicing in the local woods
