Looking for ways to extend your riding season into the cold weather months? One of the best ways we know is to cyclocross. For those of you unfamiliar with this sport, cyclocross is kind of a steeple chase for bicycles. Sound fun and interesting? Well, the MCC has gathered together some club members who are veterans of the local cyclocross racing scene to help introduce fellow club members to this unique sport through weekly MCC sponsored cyclocross clinics. Here are the details:
