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. A combination of road(like) frames with super lightweight parts, 700c x 30+ knobby tires, thrown around on road, grass and mud, then carried or bunny hopped (for the super skilled) over man made vegetable patch style edging. 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?

Combine all of this with a spectator holding a red camera, a birger lens adaptor with Canon EOS lens attached ... pfft heaven appears before your eyes (nice work jesse)

Thanks to the boys for the invite to submit news. I promise to at least attempt to spell better and keep the quality level high.
