Cyclocross or ‘cross is one of those areas of cycling that I considered a bit of a niche market. I didn’t really know much about it apart from the fact that you’ll probably get extremely muddy, you’ll have to carry your bike at some point during the race and it was popular in Belgium. As the cyclocross season is relatively short, coverage in cycling magazines is also a bit sparse compared to other cycling disciplines.
