'Cross Racing

Following up to the last post, many people not familiar with Cyclocross have asked me what it is. I've tried to explain it a number of times and it never goes well - 'it's kind of like a mountain bike race on a road-like frame, you do laps, jump off your bike and carry it through mud, up stairs and over barriers, etc'. Somehow, this doesn't seem to give a good mental picture. So, while there are several good videos out there (especially the World Championship Videos on YouTube), here is a short video of day two of the Gran Prix of Gloucester last weekend.
