Cross Hot Cross
by Port Adelaide Cycling Club
Easter Saturday was a sweltering day for a cyclocross race in Adelaide, with temperatures reaching an eye-popping 35 degrees Celsius. It certainly meant that Cross Hot Cross well and truly lived up to its name before the racing even started!
The course twisted and turned its way around the Hanson Reserve Velodrome in Woodville Gardens, with riders negotiating wide grassy corners, barriers, a set of stairs and even (thanks to the liberal use of some sprinklers) some mud!
You can see results from the day on Crossresults here, or see the race happen (as represented by tiny moving dots) on CrossMgr here.
On a personal note, this was my first time attending a cross race in 595 days. It was great to be back on the scene - even if it was a rude shock for the legs!
