What's cyclocross?

Cyclocross racing is a combination of riding and running, with obsatcles thrown in. The riding section consists of paved and unpaved (sometimes very muddy) sections. The running sections include deep sand, barriers, logs and extremeley steep inclines/declines. All this on a closed circuit, similar to a crit, but on dirt. Races last from 40-60 minutes, so it's an extremely short but high intensity race. Fun, lot's of fun though.

Here's a picture from one of the races I did this CX season. It was taken October 06' in San Jose, CA @ the Hellyer Velodrome. This section had barriers and a quick run-up section. I'm wearing yellow on the right.
