Okay, either I was a muppet and posted in the wrong forum and you (or someone else) has very kindly move my thread or we're talking at "cross" purposes (Sorry!).
If the former - many apologies.
If the latter - In the UK it would be fairly normal to refer to cyclocross as cross or 'cross. I had assumed that the convention was the same the world over but I imagine there could be some confusion with XC?
I have found this article
http://velonews.com/article/85539/ch...r-every-course (linked from anther thread) which helps but any more info or advice wouldbe great.
Cheers,
Ed
