I got no tyres for you, but I will tell you that a “casual CX race” doesn’t exist. You may tell yourself that, but once that start horn/gun/whistle/trombone goes off, you’re gonna turn yourself inside out for the next 30-45 minutes and then throw up us you cross the finish line.
Oh no 😆 I'll report back in October once I've bought a pit bike and signed up for 6 more races.
Oh man... ok, so..... I did my first race on a borrowed CX bike. After they revived me at the finish line, I swore off everything bike related, forever. 45 minutes later I was scrolling thru LBS inventory for a CX bike. A week later I got fit for my new bike.
Perfect ;D
I never wore an HR monitor during my races, but this all sounds familiar. The hardest part of any XC race was not going out *too* hard, and still having something for the last quarter mile kick. But usually about 2/3 through you'd have this constant "WHY AM I DOING THIS" feeling, and then I'd find another gear to keep going. I miss it in some sick kinda way 😆
What are the remaining races this year?
No idea personally, I only planned to do the Broken Bell CX this year.
MASS is mtb only, no CX.Beastcross this weekend at Waway is the NJCX Championship race.
(i do course setup/breakdown)
I'm sure there are more in other series - ie MASS

Um? Someone other than me that follows CX will have to provide that answer.
