Rollapaluza Halloween Cyclocross

After much shilly shalling I’ve finally signed up for my first cross race. The lack of a race within easy public transport distance and my abysmal fitness have been my excuses for not putting my Ridley Crossbow to good use till now. So I will be rolling it out at the Muddy Hell event being put on by the Rollapaluza guys this Halloween.

So in an attempt to better the results of my last racing outing (DNF in the Hell of the North West Alley Cat) I’ve decided to do some training. Having never raced cyclocross, or done the whole jump on jump of thing I thought I should endeavour to do some research into technique. Now looking on the internet video’s like this one always come up and give me the heebie jeebies with all the crashing. But I dug a little deeper and found a series of video’s with some great training tips. So later this week I’ll be getting out and falling over on some soft grass practicing the whole off on thing.
