There is going to be a local series of cyclocross races and I would like to give it a try but I know very little about it. And I don't have a x bike. I have a Raleigh hybrid that I could strip down and fit with ~ 30mm knobbies. Or I could use my Trek 820 mtb, but it is very heavy.

So, any old geezers out there ride these races? I am 55 years old. Most of my riding is done on very hilly, rural roads. A typical hill that I ride is .65 miles long with a 7% grade. A few local hills are noticable steeper and I can clean them, but not very quickly. I average at least 10 miles/day throughout the year.

This Saturday is the first in the series and I thought I would go and watch, then maybe ride the next one. Or maybe I can go early, but be prepared to ride and make up my mind when I see what's going on.
