Cyclocross Racing Challenge

It stands to reason that when the bicycle was first invented, there were not always smooth highways to peddle down. There were a lot of fields and open terrain that could not be ridden over.

Cyclocross is a particular sport designed to test the athletic abilities of the riders in a way that mountain biking and road racing does not. It is the ultimate cross breed of all styles of riding.

If you find yourself interested in learning this unique sport, the best place to start is to join a bike club. The club will be able to explain the exact rules and specifications your bike must meet in order to compete.

You can also learn where the competitions are held and when they will occur. One other note: be prepared to be cold while participating in cyclocross, as it is a fall and winter sport.

One requirement in order to participate in cyclocross racing is the ability to be able to handle the rigors of the course. This is a great opportunity to get into shape and enjoy the great outdoors.

Most races have several divisions for the different age groups; each having its own time limits and course requirements. Even if you decide not to compete, you can still enjoy the benefits of being a part of the biking community.
