I'd like to draw attention to the "Tips for Newbies" sticky thread in the racing sub-forum:

http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=480915

I added a few new things today. As always, tips from people who actually know what they're doing (i.e. not me) will help make it a better thread.

I re-read it today. There's some good stuff there if you're new to cyclocross, and especially if you aren't really a racer but just want to have some fun in the dirt.

i can only wonder if my old state of mississippi has much of any 'cross these days...all i did was mtbike back then. there would be ALOT of potential great courses there.
