And fun. And I'll be back for more.</p> <p>Highlight was one spot on the course where I kinda figured the one-footed rear wheel skid pop-the-back-end-out dismount before a 180 turn to a set of hurdles was the way to go. And didn't fall doing it on any of the laps.

I've never trained quite so hard for something that is only 1 hour. I am half assuming I'll fail and half assuming I'll be ok. Quite interesting. Frankly I'd be keen to see any advice anyone has on general cyclocross riding. literally anything. Like when should I push high power low cadence and when should I push high cadence? I understand that the best way to get is to get t the point of vommiting and remaining there, but not sure what the BEST way of riding a course is! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6811&page=2#post-78537 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 22:29:44 +0000 chdot 78537@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"</p> <p>HAUGHCROSS (@haughcross)</p> <p>18/07/2012 19:25<br /> The ever changing weather forecast now states Sunday will be sunny with occasional showers! #thisisscotland</p> <p>" </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6811&page=2#post-78483 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 12:50:58 +0000 ARobComp 78483@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Excellent - cheers guys.
