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

https://www.bikeforums.net/cyclocross-racing/480915-tips-newbies.html

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.

anyways, thanks again, andy for the reminder about the thread. i race my first in 3 days...(gulp)

yeah, andy, would like to see all ranges of cat4 riders sharing their own misgivings and sense(s) of accomplishment. very stoked now that i've had my first taste of a race
