What is cyclocross? It is a form of bicycle racing, with races
typically occurring in the autumn and winter, and consists of many
laps of a short (1.5–2 mile) course featuring pavement, wooded
trails, grass, steep hills and obstacles requiring the rider to
quickly dismount, carry the bike while navigating the obstruction,
and remount in one motion. Emphasis is on the rider's aerobic
endurance and bike-handling skills.
