Like Mountainbiking, only 10 times better!!!

This Sunday sees the first Cyclocross race of the season to take place down south, promoted by TeamWORC, in an excellent location just off the N7 at Newland's Cross - it's even within cycling distance for most of you folks! Race HQ is just beside the Camac Valley Caravan Park.
Racing will get underway at 12 for underage Senior races will follow.
Don't worry if you haven't got a 'Cross bike, MTBs can compete in the same race as the 'Crossers, in a sub-category.
This venue was used for the 2006 National Champs and is a fantastic course, fast, flowy and because of it's location in a park, attracts loads of casual spectators. It was like riding in an arena in one of the sections last year, such was the spectator support.
Even if you don't have an interest in racing, come out and cheer everyone on.

For anybody who doesn't yet know, Cyclocross is THE best of all the cycling disciplines, requiring the speed and power of Road riding with the finesse and skills of Mountainbiking. What makes it so exciting for ALL participants is that, no matter where you are in the race, there's always loads of others around to race with.

Here's a video which captures the essence of it, one of the best videos I've seen. It's a full Grand Prix race from a few weeks ago.
