"The beauty of cyclocross is that the spectators are as important as the racers. You dont need a bike to be into cross. A fully prepared cross fanatic comes to the races equipped with bells, wool, body paint, big flags, rain pants, beer, hats, horns, and processed meats. Its wonderful"
"The fans roll is big partly because thay can see nearly the entire race, partly because the courses are so narrow they can touch the riders, partly because they can spill cold beer and hot chili right onto the rider. With bells, horns and sheer enthusiasm, the fanatics can blow life back into a dead man. It's so easy to quit a mountain bike race or a road race or crit. But in cross your surrender will have witnesses."
"This is as good as sport- and I mean any sport in this word- can ever get. Welcome to cyclocross."
