Cyclo Cross - go on, you might as well.

With the start of the cyclo-cross season soon to be upon us, why not have a go at this autumn and winter sport. Its great fun. There are two leagues in the north east to choose from. - cxne.org.uk and neccl.co.uk.
You don't need to ride all the events - simply turn up in good time with an old mountain bike or racer with knobbly tyres and don't wear white!  Circuits are usually around a park or woodland and you won't get lost or dropped - although you might get lapped; but there's no shame in that as by then, no one really knows who the leaders are! For more info:

The two local websites are www.cxne.org.uk and www.neccl.co.uk.  See you there.
