Today feels like we couldn't possibly be any further away from the start of cyclo-cross season.

Busy pedalling a revolution. It's about riding bikes... mostly. Wants to be Dutch or Belgian.

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!

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.
