Ok, time to revive this thread again. People, any of you interested in participating (for fun) in some cyclocross races? I want to race a few in beginner's class, and/or possibly single-speed category, and I'm encouraging my wife to do so, too.
If you're not hip to what 'cross racing is, it's a competitive event where people ride road bikes on a variety of terrains, off and on-road, and courses typically have obstacles that require riders to dismount and run with their bikes. It can be a very strenuous event, depending on your fitness and the class you race in. I'm interested in it mostly to do be with other bike riders and to keep in good shape.
You don't need a road bike, modified mountain bikes are permitted; a cross frame is ideal but not necessary. If anyone, women or men, are interested, drop me a line. It would be very cool for a gal who wants to train, because my wife would like some company and our baby makes it difficult for the two of us to ride together. This invitation is open to you, of course, regardless of whether you want to do the races. Each of us have several bikes for road and off-road, so we could tailor a ride for your needs.
PM me or post publicly, whatever you want.
