Cyclo-cross
Cyclo-cross is a form of bike racing conducted on mixed-terrain courses that include grass, dirt, mud, and obstacles. Races typically last around 30 minutes to an hour, during which riders navigate a varied and often challenging course, sometimes dismounting to carry their bikes over barriers or up steep sections. It's a blend of road cycling, mountain biking, and obstacle course elements, emphasizing bike handling skills, agility, and endurance. Cyclo-cross is popular in the fall and winter, offering a dynamic and physically demanding sport that tests both riding ability and strategic pacing.
