Fields of Joy

            Australian National Cyclocross champion Chris Jongewaard (Flanders-JBlood) chasing Adrian Jackson (Orbea) around the Fields of Joy course during the Melbourne Grand Prix of Cyclocross (Melbourne GPCX). Jongewaard went on to win with Jackson placing second.

Cyclocross is apparently booming around the world although that might be my perception due to me following more cyclocross frame builders and racers on Instagram. When I found out that one of the teams I follow, Squid Bikes, was coming to race at the the first UCI C2 race in Australia I had to go and check it out. The race was also the final round of the Australian Cyclocross series which meant that it was a high quality introduction to a live cyclocross race.

Cyclocross is a very spectator involved sport, encouragement and insults are offered equally and without favour. It is an excellent way to spend a day watching if you have any interest in bicycles or cycle racing at all. As with most things cycle oriented, it is much bigger in Europe and is growing quickly in America. It will be awesome if the sport grows more here in Australia as it is massive fun to watch and looks like even more fun to compete in.
