Oh wow... it's been a while!
Don't think the crazy crew behind DDCX have been napping though. We've been distracted by various elements of the following:
- Altitude training
- Hill climb races
- Building beardo-esque bike trailers for lugging bikes to races
- New kittens
- Dance moves to youtube videos
- Shimergo
- mini-vees
- B Grade criterium domination
- Writing books about other sports
- Beard farming
- Learning not to crash MTBs (usually at max heart rate)
- Comparing the various iced coffees on offer in Melbourne cafes
Outside of this busy off-season schedule some of us found time to spend a reasonably unhealthy amount of time staring at mud-covered racers accompanied by a soundtrack of excited flemish/dutch commentators (ai ai ai!)

We have also been holed up in our secret DDCX treehouse planning this year's series. Dates are slowly tacking up like a good CX course and those should be publicised shortly (along with this year's National CX Series dates I believe!)
What we can tell you is that there will be a prologue and two races, and that one of the courses is brand new for this year.
While you wait for this, start planning for what is a great tune-up for the season both in terms of fitness and equipment. This year's instalment of the 'Dirty Gran Fondo' on Sunday 19th May out at Wandong. 3 lengths so you can choose to ease in or go big.
Various DDCX organisers will be out there racing/riding so don't be afraid to say Hi! (or Bye! in the case of CrossBoss Jeremy)
