This plan is for the Cyclo-Crosser that wishes CX was 365 days a year. No Joke. This will be hard. Cheaper than one Dugast Tubular & I guarantee it won't flat.

You are a very strong Category 3 or higher road racer and/or an Expert Mountain biker or above. This plan is made to prep you for the unique demands of Cyclo-Cross and includes some cross-training workouts including running. This plan isn't for wimps, it's going to make you suffer, sweat and get muddy. And you'll be stronger for it!
