Let's bring it back next year! I heard lots of love from the racers and plenty of enthusiastic spectating. It was an awesome change of pace from the other crits, and I think there were some exciting races.

I lost a Garmin Edge 305 last Friday at the parking lot at Centaur Rd and N. Eatherton (Rambauch) Rd. It is an older Garmin Edge 305. There are some damaged pixels in the lower left hand corner. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, John Twist

Cyclocross Beginner

Mon, 06 Sep 2010 20:08:28 +0000

I am thinking about getting into cyclocross.
I have a single speed Felt I am thinking about converting into a cross bike, but I have a few questions first.

I am only 15, is there a junior/single speed category in local cross races?
also,
Most cross races involve a lot of running with the bicycle, correct? I only have road shoes, so I may need to invest in some mountain shoes.

Is there anything else vital I need to know about the sport? It looks like a lot of fun but I am afraid to just jump right in unprepared.

Thanks for your help!
