Seeing as we now have enough converts to the dark side it's it time we organised a CX social ride?

Not a race but a CX on/off road ride with a good choice of mixed terrain.

Edit: No CX = no entry :twisted:

    I'd be happy to come along on the MTB but you've set your criteria to be quite exclusive Mr Boffin. :)

    Look people if your bike passes UCI requirements for a cross race (exception being disc brakes) your in.

    The simple test is to hold your bike in front of a mirror, CX bikes have no reflection.
