Thanks Josh. Love the commentary: "There's the cheese manager from Tesco's!" I think I know where Monty Python gets their inspiration... I'm pretty sure it started outside a pub; might be key...

Hmmm, the Thetis, Stewart, Hartland, Colquitz valley loop could have some of that. Maybe a swim across Kilarney Lake? Rappel down the bluffs at Thetis? Bike toss for distance in the Interurban mud flats? Now, where's the start finish pub?

Wow, I feel like a real wimp now! Only in Scotland could cyclocross be that crazy!

I really think we could use a couple of waist deep river crossings in Cross on the Rock....I wonder if Di2 can handle full submersion!?!

Found the event site that this video reminds me of. The Three Peaks race in Yorkshire, England.

The home page photo made my knees weak: http://www.3peakscyclocross.org.uk/index.htm

Interesting how they get permission to ride one day a year, on trails that are normally closed to bicycles.

OMG - I just realized the race is 50km!!!!

That's a bloody long way to race a cross bike on terrain like that!
