FLOATING LEGS

Welcome to American ‘cross.

For a beer-drinking cowbell-ringing mud-slinging good time, look no further than cyclocross, or in this case, Mud, Snow and Cyclocross: How ‘Cross Took Over US Cycling.

“Cyclocross is a far more emotional cycling event than anything else. I think it’s because you’re on the limit right from the beginning. It has more tragedy — mechanical tragedy, crashes, rolled tires — it’s a game of mistakes, it’s very much like a Shakespearean drama.” –Richard Fries
