KIT “Cyclocross” Quiz – October 2012

by ikeepittight Uncategorized

Cyclocross is a sport that:

Is designed for only the fittest of athletes
Scares me
I know nothing about
Allows an athlete to stay fit during the fall and winter on minimal training time

How do you know when its officially Cyclocross season?

You start practicing your bunnyhops on your road bike
You can’t stand looking at your road bike
Your Facebook and Twitter account is constantly streaming photos of people racing cross
You’ve gained 5 lbs
The smell of embro is in the air

To stay “in the know” on all-things-cross, follow this person on Twitter:

@velocb
@JeremyPowers
@cdelinks
@RuPaul
@AdamMyerson
@resultsboy
All of the above

Race day is approaching and you just found out that you will have the kids for the day. What do you do on race day?

Stay home
Leave them home alone
Bring them with you and NOT race, just spectate
Bring them with you and hope someone from the cross community will watch them while you race
Bring them with you, along with a babysitter, friend, etc to watch them while you PTHD all over the course
I don’t have kids, but I like it when they cheer for me

The Gran Prix of Gloucester is often referred to as:

New England Worlds
The Holy Shrine of #NECX
The Pain Hole
Glahsta cross
A Damn Good Time

Its 52F and raining on race day, what’s the best gear for your legs?

Bare, shaved legs
Embrocated, bare legs
Bare, hairy legs
Knee warmers
Full leg warmers

When approaching a set of barriers, what is the position of your right hand (if dismounting on left side)?

On the top tube
Waving to your children
In the drops
Reaching for your water bottle
Adjusting your chamois

When approaching a set of barriers at speed, how do you dismount?

Step my leg through
Step my leg behind
There’s a time and place for stepping behind and stepping through
Bunnyhop
I have no idea what you are talking about

You’re at the top of a run-up and racing for 42nd position with one lap to go…what do you do?

Put my head down and hammer to the finish.
Look for a beer feed then put my head down and hammer.
Give up and head to the showers.
Stop and rest for a minute before continuing.
Smile for the cameras.

Who has the tightest looking cross Team Kit for 2012?

Rapha/Focus
Mad Alchemy/Verge Rider Cooperative
Cannondale/Cyclocrossworld
Raleigh/Clement
RGM/ Richard Sachs
Embrocation Cycling Journal

Tubulars are:

The best thing to happen to me since skinsuits
A fun way to spend a night with a tub of glue in a small unventilated room
A thing best left to professionals
Too expensive (which is why I only have three sets)
What are tubulars?

What is the best way to cheer someone on at a cross race?

Heckle the hell out of them
Jingle a cowbell and scream: Huphuphuphup!
Remain silent
Hand out dollar bills
Yell: Booooyeah!
