Their Off season = Cyclocross Dreams

Their Off Season = Cyclocross Dreams

1

As the warmth approaches (yes - just get on with it!) our northern friends move into their off season and that means cyclocross. It’s unfortunate that we don’t really have a large cyclocross scene in OZ, but that’s not too much of an obstacle with the interweb thing.

Even better still are the crowds that seem to have the enthusiasm of a fixed gear alley cat event. In all honestly what more could you ask for?
