If you find yourself struggling to understand the hype about cyclocross, or maybe just not finding the motivation to get your bike out this weekend to hit the anaerobic threshold for 30 to 60 minutes in mid-January, perhaps this video about the U.S. Gran Prix of cyclocross from BrakeThrough Media will be of assistance.

This is footage from a weekend in Portland in early December, which many Bellingham 'cross racers attended and even brought home some good results! I can highly recommend the trip down, even as a spectator, and while I may not have waffle vendors or big sponsors on hand at Cornwall, I think you will feel much of the same spirit. After all, this is true grassroots cyclocross!
