Cyclocross: The steeplechase of bicycle racing
Pedal. Sprint. Turn. Dismount. Run. Jump. Remount. Pedal. Oh, yeah, and breathe. A combination of skill, speed, endurance, and concentration, cyclocross is the steeplechase of cycling. It began in late 19th-century France when, in winter, cyclists veered off-road and over jagged terrain to maintain their fitness and improve their bike-handling skills. Yesterday’s off-season is today’s pro circuit.

Can you loose overall body weight from bike riding?
What I mean is can you loose weight from all over your body from bike riding, such as stomach fat, back fat, arm flab? If so how does it work? I prefer bike riding to running because I have bad knees and strain on my Achilles tendons.
Yes you can. However there is more to it then that. Biking alone will not make you lose a significant amount of wight but combined with a proper diet and calisthenics (exercises without weights) you will start to see results. Biking is a form of cardio and cardio workouts burn off calories which in turn means you will lose weight. Also remember to stay hydrated at all times even when your not biking.
How does one go about entering in the tour De France?

Tour de France History 1/12
http://leviathan-photo.blogspot.com
Presented by Sean Kelly, narrated by David Duffield, and commentary by Phil Liggett
This official history celebrates an incredible century of cycling, from the early flickering images of the 1903 winner, Maurice Garin, to the amazing scenes which greeted Lance Armstrong’s fifth straight victory in 2003.
As well as the triumphs we also explore the tragedies and controversies associated with the Tour, amongst them the death of two-time winner Octavia Bottachia, reputedly murdered by fascists, the death of Tommy Simpson on the Ventoux in 1967 and Fabio Casartelli’s death in 1995.
The early years of the Tour are full of heroics and all the protagonists are featured from Lucien Petit Breton and Philippe Thijs, to Rene Vietto and Antonin Magne. After WW2 came the Italian revolution with the emergence of Gino Bartali and Fausto Coppi, one of the greatest of them all. However, the Golden Age of the 50s saw the return of the French champions in Bobet, Walkowiak and Gaul as well as the inaugural win of Jacques Anquetil in 1957 who went on to complete the first ever five-timer. His battles with Raymond Poulidor are still talked about to this day.
And then came Eddy Merckx, unquestionably the finest of them all, who trounced the opposition in his five victories. Merckx was followed by Luis Ocana, Bernard Thevenet and Lucien Van Impe before the next five-time winner emerged in Bernard Hinault, followed swiftly by Spanish legend Miguel Indurain who dominated the early 1990s with his five consecutive victories from 1991.
Other individual highlights featured include Stephen Roche’s epic 1987 victory and the amazing 1989 success of Greg Lemond over two-time winner Laurent Fignon by a mere eight seconds. The programme finishes with an extended profile of the phenomenal Lance Armstrong, who has overcome cancer to stand on the brink of becoming the first ever six-time winner of the tour de france.
