Old School 'Cross

Sadly, the races these days are considerably more sanitized. Maybe next year the Chicago Cyclocross Cup could incorporate a crossing of the Chicago River by bike or, for one of the races in the suburbs, a romp through a corn field.

There's no point in doing something if it's easy. CX should be hard and while the race above is harder than most cyclists are accustomed to, it looks unbelievably fun.
