Throwback Thursday: 1983 Halfords International Cyclocross
Check out this video from the archives: the Halfords International Cyclocross Race, 1983
For this Throwback Thursday, we go back to 1983 to the Halfords International Cyclocross Race.
The course looks a little more like an American cyclocross course of the 1980s, with triple log barriers and a rather wildly, intimate setting. The bike pit exchange area is one of the more close-quarters place on the course, with mechanics lined up between the already cramped race tape, holding the bikes out and allowing riders almost one line to take after the uphill climb.
A must-watch for those who are curious how it was done in the good old days.
