Cyclocross in the fall

davidpettigrew

Hi Rich,
I am considering doing some cyclocross races this year as a way to improve my biking strength and skills and doing cool stuff with my fitness. The races go from October to December. I was planning on joining the November OS.
What do you think?
Thanks,
David

If you can fit it in within the "work" of the OS, it might be OK but if it is on top of it, u might risk digging a hole too early in the OS. Plus, if you have to skip or alter any of the OS wkos to do it, it may compromise gains u should be making in the OS.

PS it does sound like fun though! Just bought a cross bike myself, but just for flat, straight rides on the rail trail.

This is fine. I'm assuming the races are on the weekend so they will just take the place your Saturday ride.

Yeah, they are usually Saturday or Sunday.
