Cyclocross, described by enthusiasts as “the toughest hour in cycling,” is an on-road and off-road cycling discipline held on a one- to two-mile looped circuit. Cyclocross racers navigate mud, sand, pavement, grass, gravel, pasture and mulch. When the terrain is too steep to ride, riders dismount, shoulder their bikes and run.
