The Rodeo Podcast: Cyclocross!

Once upon a time, in the not so distant cycling past, Cyclocross was one of the brightest spots in American cycling. Regionally there were a half dozen vibrant hotspots where hundreds and even over a thousand people a weekend would gather and race passionately across the various age groups and categories. The tires were thin, the brakes were cantilever, and if we were lucky, the ground was muddy.

In recent times the brightness of this niche cycling genere seems to have faded. Crowds dwindled, attendance waned. Gravel seemingly stepped up and sucked all of the energy out of this other drop bar off road category. But on this episode of the Rodeo podcast we spoke to Cameron and Stephen who went back for another go at Cyclocross for a season – astride their Traildonkeys. Was it fun? Was it worth it? Should more people give this thing a go? Listen along and find out!
