For the past two race seasons, I’ve enjoyed being a part of the growing Catalonian cyclocross community. Not only are more locals joining the ranks, but even some “guiris” (Catalan term for folks not from here) are lining up in local races. While the social atmosphere around CX here isn’t beer-handout-level yet, it is undoubtedly more laid back than those of road and gravel (yes, gravel).
