Big Maggys Coffee

Cyclocross wouldn't be complete without a skinsuit, expensive skinwall tubs, embrocation and most importantly coffee !

Most rides are started or finished with a coffee .. often the pursuit of a coffee is the destination.

We are very happy then that Big Maggys Coffee have offered team and club riders a discount on their fantastic product.

Simply visit the site utilising the link on the right of the blog and enter the discount code 'xclub2012' when placing an order for a 20% discount on your coffee requirments.

Huge thanks to Big Maggys and we will continue to promote the product by excessive caffeine intake at every opportunity :)

Bearded Man Backs Cross Club

A bizzare statement but getting away from the strange imagery that blog title creates the facts are that new Van Dessel UK importer The Bearded man has stepped up to back Cross Club in supplying the team and also club riders with great deals on Van Dessel framesets and also complete bikes...

The team will mostly be utilising the Gin and Trombones ...
(click picture for more details on pricing and spec)






But for those with deeper pockets there is also the Full Tilt Boogie on offer ..




Contact the Bearded man quoting Cross Club for special club pricing .. you won't be dissapointed.

The first rule of Cross Club is....

... we ride Cross.

Pure and simple, this club is about not only putting a race number on every sunday through the winter, although that will happen, its also about getting off the roads and using cross bikes to train on and more simply just to get out there and have fun.

The concept came about through a desire not to have to venture onto the dangerous winter roads in winter to train when we have such a good network of trails ... Cross bikes are under utilised.. most only see a short racing season ... this shouldn't be the case as the cross bike allows a much more diverse selection of rides to be used to get the valuable winter base miles in.

The club jersey is now so close to completion it hurts... sponsors have been secured.. riders are ready.

We will use this blog to detail the forthcoming cross season and the exploits of those willing to pull on a Cross Club jersey and suffer in the mud for 50 plus a lap.

We envisage t shirts and cycling caps will be available to buy for those wishing to support and soon there will be a weekly Saturday club run.. on cross bikes of course... details to be confirmed.
