Mud Lap

Mud Lap is the race-weekend book for club and masters cyclocross riders who line up at a veldrit every Sunday in Belgium, the Netherlands, northern France and Germany. It opens on your next race: venue, start time and a course card with sand, run-ups, barriers, off-camber and a mud level from Dry to Tacky, Greasy or Heavy. Right below sits the tyre call: tread plus front and rear pressure in bar and psi, worked out from your own previous races at that venue in that mud and corrected for whether the pressure felt too soft, spot on or too hard. PIT PLAN FOR YOUR HELPER Tap the laps where you swap to bike B, set the number of washes, give bike B its own tyres if it runs a mud tread, and share a pit card with the friend or parent working the pit. On race day they tap the lap counter once per lap. It records split times, shows which bike you are on and turns bright green on the swap lap.…
