I've also lately been pre-occupied about 'cross, it's still a bit early to change my training regime over, but soon enough:getsome:

Lots of speed work. CX races are short and violent. It's like the start of an mtb race- for the entire race.uke:how exactly do you train for cross, except for mounting and dismounting?
Yep, this is a lot of it. We ride our CX bikes at Allaire and Clayton a lot, occasionally at Hartshorne and Huber. I have a training lap at Tatum Park in Middletown that takes me 12 minutes and change when I hammer it in my big ring. A typical session involves 5 laps: 1 to warmup, 3 at red line with 2 minutes of recovery in between, and 1 to cool down. That's a one hour total workout and pretty much shells me. Most of the riding is on rolling grass fields and dirt road.ride around in wet fields, off chamber turns, through sand and deep mud.
Gotta find a way to try it out this fall. Can I just put bigger tires on my other road bike?
