Steps and sand sap Cyclocross riders energy.....

Round 5 of the GVC Cycleworld Cyclocross Series was raced on Sunday morning.

The course featured just about every type obstacle and track surface making a race where no rhythm could be found! This format of the sport really saps the energy as bikes have to be carried over the soft sand and up steep steps.

It's safe to say that racers were pleased to see the finish flag!

I've added a Gallery of photos which give an idea what the riders faced:
