Cyclocross is like a brutal mix of road-riding and mountain biking – think about pain, mud, lycra, pain and inappropriate bikes racing en-mass off road and you’ll come close.
As part of her training, Jess Stone has been dabbling in the pain cave. She even missed the booze at new year to stay fresh to race. Here’s a video of her taking on the national CX champs – shot by Geoff Waugh.
From Jess’ facebook: “Lungs bleeding, brought up some sick near the end and legs burning – but I enjoyed that!! Really fast course and was an honour to be racing alongside some legends. 22nd place I came I think. Would never have imagined racing this, this time last year!! At least now I have set a bar for myself to beat for next year! But in mean time; looking forward to a big roast dinner, hot bath and a comfy bed :D”
