NEW Cyclocross Skills Book Now Available

Several years ago Scott Mares was frustrated with the only book on the market and started to put together drills and skills for cyclocross. Scott has been running the ACA cyclocross camps for 9 years with rider attendance from 60 up to 140 at a time. The camps have help produce more than a dozen national champions and even a Silver at the
Jr. worlds championships.

The name of the book is “The Complete Book of Cyclocross, Skill Training and Racing”. This book is available at www.cx-book.com October 17th this year. The book will retail for $20.00. The web site is full of information about the book and the author including a sample chapter from the book.

About the book

The book addresses different techniques of skill training and racing for
cyclocross. The book will also address different cross drills to promote skill and intervals specific to cyclocross. The book has over 200 detail pictures with specific arrows showing where to place your hands. The book also shows what NOT to do and why you should not do it.

Detailed descriptions will be given on these drills that have never been published before. The book explains each drill in a way that is easy to understand and implement.

Racing tactics and equipment are a big section in this book. In the racing section, I talk about different tactics and explain when and when not to apply them.

In addition, the book contains a few chapters on growing the sport. The ACA has been very successful on growing Junior Cyclocross through their camps and Mud Skipper program. The book gives detailed guidance on how to create and run your own cyclocross camp and junior cyclocross program.
