  1. Summer cyclo-cross is not far away 🙂

    Categories for everyone at the Cheltenham Summer CX Race on Sunday 16th August, promoted by Cheltenham & County Cycling Club.

    There are so few summer cyclo-cross races these days, it would be a shame not to enter.

    Details and entries here:

    Hopefully I'll see some of you there!

  3. @ascentale @pete @bikenite

    A5. Nothing currently out of action, but a few years ago, my cyclo-cross bike was out of action for around six weeks in the midst of the season. I tore off the rear mech in a race, trashing it and the mech hanger in the process. It's an unfortunately typical cyclo-cross occurrence.

    The delay was caused by a shop's inability to order the correct replacement hanger. This was the shop that sold me the bike, so no excuse for ordering the wrong one more than once.

    After that, I bought a second cyclo-cross bike to cover such eventualities in the future. And typically, since then I have never needed that bike as a back-up!

  5. @concretedog Good luck trying #CycloCross. Sliding around on low pressure tyres is addictive.

  7. Bit of bike fettling. As I want to try some local #Cyclocross this season (deffo fat lad at the back) I've grabbed a spare budget wheelset for the Genesis. I've put a matching cassette on so I can quick swap the wheelsets. This set currently with some wtb raddlers. Quick local muck about ride on grass to give em a bit of a test! #biketooters

  9. @pete It's a special race that, if we're being honest, doesn't bear much resemblance to a cyclo-cross race. The tyre requirement was probably one of the main things that would be recognised from cyclo-cross. Is it heading for a rename as a gravel race, I wonder? #3PCX #Cycling #CycloCross

  11. One of the Tour de France commentators, referring to Mathieu van der Poel, commented that in cyclocross, it's important to measure your effort.

    Nonsense. You ruin yourself getting to the first corner as fast as possible and then hang on for the next 50+ minutes 😂 That's why we love it.

  12. @ascentale @streetmeme @bikenite Belated A1 #BikeNite I was posting from Cumbria, UK. I'm kidding myself that it's a true track stand, but can balance pretty well. I'd say that if that unless there's a camber in the road you can really ONLY track stand on a fixie.
    The question reminded of a fun #cyclocross event I used to do that included an elimination/devil race, with the added dimension of needing to track stand at the end of each lap without crossing the line until told to go again.

  14. @pete I use those collars on my 'cross bikes, just for extra assurance with my remounts. Funnily enough, the only time my seatpost slipped in a cyclo-cross race was during my very first race. The cause was: me. Hadn't tightened the clamp enough and it slipped. Lots 😂

  18. If I just listen to the commentary of Paris-Roubaix Femmes, it could be a #CycloCross race.

    When not on the mat or skiing with my kiddo, I'm racing cyclocross, training for half marathons, or tinkering with my Proxmox homelab. Big believer in self-hosting, open source, and digital privacy.

    A7. For me, a bike ride is just that. I don't want to push or carry my bike at all.

    My tolerance for pushing or carrying a bike is limited to where it is unavoidable in a cyclo-cross race. In my head, my dismount and remount is as smooth as this...

    Q8. This week I experienced a beautiful, spring-like day at the Cyclo-Cross World Championships in Hulst, the Netherlands 🇳🇱 Day two was less spring-like but it didn't affect an amazing weekend.

    I saw lots of friends and met someone new I had previously only known through Mastodon 🙂👋

  30. Comme souvent, super travail de Noah van Putten et de l'équipe de Cyclocross Social lors des Mondiaux de #cyclocross, avec des interviews (en anglais) de quatre sélectionneurs sur leurs espoirs et les difficultés du développement de la discipline dans leur pays cyclocrosssocial.substack.com/
