CYCLOCROSS Nationals will start in two weeks, Asheville, NC this year. This course preview was released this week and it looks like a mix of power and technical skills will be needed. The preview proposes several long open straight sections that will ask for sustained VO2 power to the pedals, and being in a small group will help. These dump into short steep run-ups and a very cool feature that takes us through what looks like a horse barn, I bet it will be loud in there. It appears the proposed course has some elevation to it as well with a gravel road climb that takes you to Heckle Hill climb/run-up. Couple of "fly-overs" will make it feel pro. I am betting that NECX racers will perform well on this course.
