There are plenty of reasons to love the sport of cyclocross: it’s spectator and family friendly, the races are short, and success demands a balance of bike handling skills and fitness. In short, it's the perfect competitive outlet for those of us with busy 'real' lives.

As we get older, our tastes tend to shift from quantity to quality. This goes for all things good — wine, beer, food — but is especially true when it comes to training.
Young cyclists often overtrain and, despite the fact that many make up for it with youth and an ability to sleep 12 hours a night, some are surely slower because of it.

Growing up also means you're likely to have a job, partner, kids and/or a million other things to spend your time on. The good news is that we’ve found a fairly specific — but fun — training structure for cyclocross which doesn’t take that much time, but does allow you to be competitive on the weekend ’cross courses. This holds true whether you’re a beginner or racing with the big dogs.
Cyclocross races may be short, but they still require a rider to ‘pin it’ for 45 minutes to an hour. While this requires serious training, you don't need to put in the hours of a Tour de France pro.
