Isn't cyclocross the miniature golf version of mountain biking?
It may be way ahead of it's time...or it may have some euroroots that noone in the states quite gets yet but i can't think of another sport that is trying so hard to get established and it is just not taking. At least not on the east coast.
Actually, it is quite the spectator friendly bike race, as all the action is right in front of you and you can walk to get to most "hotspots" on the course. Check one out, as it is pretty cool to watch. In order to race it, you have to be in some darn good shape because you are redline most of the time. I know I wouldn't be able to do it without looking like an out of shape fool .
Skylands Cycling was kind enough to set up a demo course at JORBA Fest and Marty's supplied some demo CX bikes -- unfortunately for me, I was too busy that day to get an opportunity to try it out. I hope others out there did.

i saw on one of the many websites today that the hidden valley CX series has been cancelled...i guess there just was not enough interest...bummer because i was going to go to tomorrows as my first CX
what other NJ cx races are coming up?
CX not taking on the East coast..U R kidding:hysterica...
You could also come down to the Rutgers CX practices on wednesdays, they're tons o' fun/pain and are a great way to get CX race prep in...

id like to do those practices, but i think you need a racing license for them, and they dont do the $10 one day thing
No problem son. Let me know the next time you need something painfully obvious pointed out

J. Vreeland, soothsayer.:hmmm:Yes, Everyone Jim has a gift for stating and seeing the obvious. So let's not be afraid of asking for help if we need it.
