Global Cycling Network Not related to the video but could you do reviews on pollution masks and if they're a marketing gimmick or very effective? Thanks Dan
Well I did what you said & I have a perfect 5 min cyclocross course outside my front door, very steep climbs, single track through woods & a road sprint, you really should try it, infact, I challenge you to try it. (and its local in Bristol)!
My favorit session is see Simon work really hard with different session in cyclocross then finish that then see Matt when he try cyclocross and understand that must be better spend time on the real road. :)
Too bad the CX racing season in Norway is over for now... (We only have two months before we have too much snow/ice). The threshhold session sounds like a nightmare... I'll have to try it.
Avoid the clipping in drill by racing in MTB flats and fell running shoes. I'm talking training for a West Yorkshire gloop fest consisting of running up then sliding down!
No judgement on your gear, but I’m not sure too many current or recent cross specific bikes have cable routing under the top tube. Even the older ones I’ve seen have it running along the top. Imagine you just need to battle through till you can upgrade your ride. Don’t let that stop you enjoying the mud! Use it to learn to ride more surface than shoulder?
It is not a cross country bike, just a (around 2010) road bike. I just happened to follow one the advice/proposal of GCN which mandated to go and explore new routes and ended up shouldering my bike to get through ;) .but yeah I enjoyed the pain on my shoulder I just do not want to ruin the cabling..
I had the same pain while running for a ferry after a particularly ill-timed puncture. I think road bike frame guides are in perfectly wrong spot for shouldering

Great video but would be better if this was in August/September as the season is basically finished. We need some more cyclocross videos too.
+CJonny 123 fair point. Sorry chaps.
And don’t forget to clean your bike afterwards! Unlike Si who just leaves his dirty bike out in the garden whilst he does a session on the trainer
Niels Heldens ...Lasty cleans it for him... th-cam.com/video/DvAZv-wiVkM/w-d-xo.html
I like the idea of interval in training that is why you kan go deeper an recover faster.pat from Belgium 🚲 nice video
Thanks for helping me feel a little more cross ;)
Great video! Thanks!

I am no crosser, but the 4th training on your indoortrainer is fun one. Tried it, died almost. Great.
Great video thanks guys!
+Hartley Wallace no problem Hartley
Thanks guys
I switched the indoor trainer for the velodrome located less then 2k from my home 😎
This video would've been perfect in August. Now the season is over 😣
Prastt after thr season is before the season
But at the end of the season it’s great to watch some Cyclo-cross😉 th-cam.com/video/bF11QqypzdE/w-d-xo.html

How are you determining threshold heart rate? Avg HR from a cross race?
Avoid the clipping in drill by racing in MTB flats and fell running shoes. I'm talking training for a West Yorkshire gloop fest consisting of running up then sliding down!
The Garmin has a Data Field for "% FHR", I believe, should make the last session a little easier.
What percentage of max heart rate is your functional threshold heart rate?
How is this not part of your 'Cyclocross How to' playlist?
So Matt, I understand from this video that 'clipping in' is a life skill now. How is that going for you?
#torqueback, how do you shoulder a road bike with cabling under the top tube ?

Go clean yer bike!
May it be that at 2:14, those legs are not shaved?
Trek Crockett "Si let me inside... its so cold and rainy out here"
Excellent sessions, brutal but excellent nonetheless! 🤢
so topical now that the season is over in most parts of the world.
Do you want to watch some Cyclo-cross action? Then watch this➡️ th-cam.com/video/bF11QqypzdE/w-d-xo.html
Best training is when you go unprepared and suffer like hell, it is like being born on the battlefield.
Just as the cx season is ending
Practice racing is the most fun kind of training, if we're being honest
Is any member of the GCN cycling team currently cycling professionally?
OreChuks Obadofin No. We only just about made the grade when we were young.
Come on GCN the cross vids are coming in way too late for the season :(
0:41 all I can think of is this....... th-cam.com/video/MZjAantupsA/w-d-xo.html
I always think almost every cyclists look younger than their age

when the screen said THE FUN LAP - i thought i was going to see Si in Harvey Weinsteins lap, touching his gravel grinder
Miha Belimezov Turna that sounds more like something Kevin Spacey would do tbh
