Isn't one of the RBW managers an accomplished cross racer? And the Legolas,
a cross bike, was one of the more desired RBW models. So (eek!), quite on
topic.

there are certainly Riv enthusiast who love cyclocross and race, in spite
of the negative comments made. It's a fun sport and even some Riv employees
race. The atmosphere is like early MTB racing, lots of fun and a great
experience.
Some people who have never tried this sort of thing would b
I for one love riding my rivendell and also love cyclocross! And I'm definitely
not a racer.

Your apology is unnecessary, but appreciated. No offense taken, but what
you said sounded like something that would irk me. Thanks for keeping up
the discourse.
I agree that cyclocross is interesting; it's the coolest form of racing
I've spectated.
Cheers,

suggested that you _should_ like cyclocross _racing_. My intention simply
was only to point out that cyclocross is out there for those who feel so
inclined, but not to suggest that you should like it (or anything else, at

I agree with Tim. It's just as presumptuous to expect "unracers" to be
into cyclocross as it is to expect them to be into randonneuring, or
extended loaded touring, or even S24Os. It's a harmless presumption, but
it's a presumption. If there's one thing that "unracers" seem to have in
common
OK, so he's 33, not 43, and he "competed", not "won". But still pretty eye

I, for one, am grateful for my local cyclocross scene and its close cousin,
short-track mountain biking.
As a child, I rode my department store fake BMX bike through unifinished
construction sites, making up my own obstacle courses and trying to clean every

The one thing that is nice about 'cross is that you don't get cold even on
a cold, damp day, because you aren't out for that long, and you are going
fast. I was wearing shorts and short sleeves in November in Seattle!
I understand the "unracer" ethic, but I don't think it means that you
cannot

I don't want to race and the older I get the less I want to ride on cold,

that it hasn't been cooped by BIG MONEY. I can't think of a single sport

I kind of want to say I'm less "organized" but I guess that's wrong too.
But the idea of an organized event whose only purpose is competition makes
me think there are better ways to spend my time.
Of course, to each their own.

I appreciate cyclocross, but don't participate. I think it reflects my
attitude about racing, which is shared by many in the list. I'm an
unracer. I'm not competitive and prefer to have fun in a group instead of
compete with them.
Cyclocross is intimidating. I appreciate that it's less s
More power to anyone who wants to try a new thing but the idea of carrying
my bike instead of riding it just seems off IMO

Just a heads-up for our little contest – guess how much mud my 'cross bike
hauled around at the end of last weekend's race. The best guess wins a

I haven't seen much discussion of cyclocross here, even though it seems
like it would appeal to many her
