Subject: RE: I want to try cyclocross I bought a CX bike over the winter and have done 3 event with it. They were a 38km race, a 70km and a 156km race, all were gravel grinder type events and not really Cyclocross. I do plan to try cyclocross as well this fall. From a gravel event perspective I would have to say they are fairly ridiculous in a very fun way and also very challenging.
As far as cross over from Tri I would say that there is very little aside from the obvious pedaling in circles. For me mountain biking skills - bunny hops, clearing obstacles, maintaining traction on slippery and muddy uphill sections are far more applicable. Look through my race reports if you like - Runny Nose, Paris to Ancaster and Eager Beaver
