Cyclocross and Gravelbiking (Recreational) This has to be the most physically intense sport ever invented. It's high speed bicycle racing on a short off road course or riding the off pavement rides on gravel like : "Unbound Gravel". We also have a dedicated Racing forum for the Cyclocross Hard Core Racers.

Somethings missing...
....dirt, mud, hell even some dust to show these cx bikes are actually ridden in the dirt.

My first time ever taking a bike off road. I just got the Cross-check a week prior and decided to bring it out to some of my favorite local hiking spots that's mostly double track through flat, sandy, FL upland forests. I didn't consider how badly flooded the area would be so I ended up pushing through short stretches of deep water.

This is also my first non fixie in the past 18 years. Def appreciated the gears through the soft sand and wet muck.

I found a muddy ravine that just had a horse or two down it. Hoof prints are a mother to ride down. Luckily it was thick mud. Mostly slid down, stayed clipped with my road shoes and pedals... sketchy!

I recognize the I75 Landbridge from hiking on the Florida Trail but was wondering what the bike trails were like in the area.

I know Santos is popular but how about West of Santos on the Greenway?
