A Week of Cyclocross Training 

I’ve honestly struggled with how to both do the racing and get enough footage to tell a good story. After ticking some goals off I felt a little bit less pressure so it was like I could take the time to film a little and gaff with the camera stuff and not worry so much that the lack of focus was affecting my results

Thanks! I’m out with a broken fibula but I’ll be making videos about my training comeback

@@JonathanCrain horrible! hope the recovery has been going well these last few weeks.

@@HunterThomsonUK So far so good. Just able to pedal easy on the trainer now. Hoping to get the ok to really train early Feb

We get a pretty wide variety in the southeast. Two weeks before we had a mud race at the Velodrome in Atlanta. Mud didn’t get very deep, I think because that urban soil is pretty compacted, but it was slippery, especially going on and off the track. We normally get 1 or 2 absolute mud slogs per season.

Exactly

I didn’t get into this in the video but I’ve actually got two canti bikes. My A bike is a Trek Boone from the final year Sven Nys was racing. He forced them to make a canti version. And then I have a Ridley from 2005 or so with 10 speed rival on it. That’s my B bike. I’ve got that one set up with heavy mud tires and it only comes out on a particularly muddy or loose day.

I was running Vitoria Tirreno Dry tires at 23.5 psi front and 25.5psi rear. That was a perfect setup for this course. The file tread middle section on the tirreno dry rolls fast on the long sections of power sucking grass, and there are knobs on the side that grip pretty well when you lay it over.

@@JonathanCrain, tubeless or tubular? If tubeless, what do they measure out to when mounted?

@@michaelmihalik6838 I have tubulars on my A bike (the trek boone I'm riding here) and tubeless on my B bike, which is a 2013 Ridley. Those are tubeless Michelin Mud 2's (the green ones) in a 33. They measure pretty true to size on the older ultegra rims I have them on.
