Cross season here runs until Mid-January so we are still at it and still getting muddy. Really muddy. Willow beach on a crap day kind of muddy and that is just practice.

This weekend was round 2 of the Irish Super-Cross Cup.  This race was in Dublin, so no long trip to Northern Ireland for me this time.  Instead a sedate 15K peddle across town.

As some of you know I am spending the year in Ireland for work purposes.  I am on a sabbatical from York University to do a research project with faculty at University College Dublin- which means we are living and working just south of Dublin city centre.  The key thing to this job is that it gives me lots of flexibility, which means lots of time for non-work adventures on the cross-bike.

OK three more races plus a lot of grave road riding up North and things still seem petty much to be working as advertised- for me. Not necessarily working as well for others.

So here is the update:

This is the fist of a series of irregular posts on an (expensive) experiment I am conducting with tubeless tires. I know others are running these tires but it is still hard to get information about these set-ups, especially on how they perform locally, so I figured I would share. If you have or are running tubeless, especially in Ontario please join the discussion.
