I've decided it would not be right to take credit for my
last post (below) without acknowledging my inspiration for that post:

It's almost TdF time, which means if you're not thinking about CX season you should be. Here's a few pointers to help you get ready even though you may have some road or mountain bike races left.
Get off road - Grab your CX bike and hit the singletrack one day a week. This will help hone your handling skills and get your body ready for the jarring bumps of skinny tires and no suspension off-road.
Get to the core - Core strength is often the difference between finishing strong or fading to the back of the pack. No better time to start strengthening your core than now.
Get on the gas - If you're already racing road or mountain you're probably doing a couple hard workouts a week already. If you're not, time to get out and do a fast group ride, intervals or even a criterium or mountain bike race.
Get out the notebook - Make a list of the races you want to do and your equipment needs for the season and start checking off the list. Cross races can be won in the details, don't leave it until the last minute.
