Re: London CX summer series
Dan, it's probably the most relaxed/fun kind of racing you can do on a bike.
Don't worry about tyres, I saw two guys do it last night on a road bike!

Re: London CX summer series

Re: London CX summer series
Well I sat on your wheel back from Thomas & Astrid's hen/stag ride on knobbly tyres when you were TT'ing it ![Wink ;-)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
Seriously, just turn up and ride - you'll be hooked!

The ride out is a seriously slow affair. Save your legs for racing. Just do it.

Re: London CX summer series
Do we reckon this will go ahead?
I think it'd be faster if I left my bike in the pits and jogged the course in flippers and a mask.
Too bad b/c the Van Dessel was ready to go and riding sweet.

How slow comes the hour, its passing speed how great

Re: London CX summer series
99% sure it's Go-Ride so no licence needed. If I'm wrong you can get a day licence when you sign on.
Occasionally. Herne Hill does cancel a CX race. Apparently its the "wrong type of mud" which rips off a rear mech so much as glance at it (it's the only place Ive ever bust a rear mech to be fair) but more likely they don't like the thought of all that mud on their precious track.
It will be muddy tonight. Have fun![Twisted Evil :twisted:](./images/smilies/icon_twisted.gif)

Well that was a lot of fun to watch anyway. Well done all! Maybe I'll join you next time if I can find and bike. Dan embraced the mud...

Re: London CX summer series
Oh no, you fitted the chevrons the wrong way round
Don't worry Dan, if you don't crash in CX you're not trying hard enough
