Wonder if they'll let me ride Pugsley ;D

FWIW I have registered, in the Novice class, natch :)

Might be interesting to see where the lines are drawn, if indeed they are ;)

The only drawbacks I can see are a) I'm not entirely sure whether I'm actually free that day and b) riding in big groups makes me really, really nervous, largely as the result of an incident on a club ride longer ago than I care to remember in which I came down in a bunch, whilst riding fixed. I was a bit of a mess ...

Pity there isn't a 'Fat Bastard' class ...

I love the idea of 'urban cyclocross', though.

Now there is a good idea, have a series, a different uni for each event. Some I know would work well, some not so.

Tell me more. All things are possible. I'm trying to find a few local crossers to double check route plans.
