Hi,

Just a quick question on what people wear to ride cyclocross races! My bib shorts and tops etc. are a little light weight for the colder weather and mud I think.

I guess most people are wearing some kind of bib tights and long sleeved jerseys? Any pointers to some good options? Not too expensive please as I don't want to trash something pricey when I stack it in the woods! :wink:

Cheers,
Steve

    if you're racing cross properly you shouldn't stand a chance of getting cold!

    seriously though, i'd just advise wearing your usual but investing in a light thermal under jersey together with arm warmers and knee warmers. use light xc mtb gloves also. you may be surprised to find you get quite hot though.

    ha ha fair point, but there is the whole waiting around at the start etc. and the wind seems to go right through my shorts! I was debating if it was worth getting some full length winter tights like these - I think it might be worth it for the training sessions alone which are in the evenings. It was bloody cold tonight!

    It does look pretty slick...it's also f**king expensive!

    I think I might get a short sleeved thermal under jersey too -that sounds like a good plan!
