I forgot to say.. If anyone wants to borrow my mtb to try out some cross then they can. I used it for cross a few times last year, it's quite light and has proper cross tyres on it that are far better than normal mtb tyres. Also if people need a lift to events more often than not I will have room for at least one person plus a bike.
I know it's a way off yet but is anyone thinking of doing some cross this winter? I plan on doing the series this time. The dates for the west midland league are on here... http://www.wmccl.co.uk/events.asp
