"Cycle Cross is a lung tearing, heart exploding, leg screaming tunnel of pain. The perfect example of that which does not kill you only makes you stronger.

There's no whining, nothing easy and nothing pretty, clean or sophisticated about it. It's like mountain biking meets ultimate fighting. It's not even fun... not until you're done, earned your position on the side line and scrub your lungs off the back of your throat with a Fat Tire and watch as the other racers get bludgeoned by the mud, obstacles, hills, other riders and hecklers. Lungs are an acquired taste." Read more of Chris' Spooky Cross Race Report Here Spooky Cross Photos: Muddy Saturday | Gusty Sunday
