I've been taking a look at the Pro cyclocross highlights on Steephill and it's amazing stuff. All the commentary is in Dutch but you don't need to understand the commentary to appreciate the spectacle.
The highlights from Ruddervoorde on November 9th are typical of what a specatacle it is. Very mild weather conditions but the nature of the course makes for some very challenging riding, especially the long, long sand section. Tons of power needed to keep hacking through that. Don't know how they manage that as riding along Bournemouth Prom is bad enough! Well worth a watch and Helen Wyman holding up the home pride in the Women's elite section.

I discovered that there's weekly CX events over here very close to me. I mentioned to Willys that I'd love to have a crack at this as it looks like great fun... until he pointed out all the washing of the bike that would be required afterwards. That doesn't seem like such good fun.
