Cyclocross is an intense sport that involves a short period -- often less than an hour -- of intense riding and running in all weather conditions.  And 'cross bikes aren't just for racing.  Many of our 'cross customers like to take advantage of the vast network of back-country dirt roads in Addison County.  You can ride from Goshen to Ripton, and Ripton to Lincoln, over twenty-five miles of some of the most beautiful scenery anywhere, with less than three miles paved.  If you want to hit the woods on the T.A.M.* trail, you don't need a mountain bike if you have a 'cross bike.

What does a 'cross bike offer to the casual user?

bulletTire clearance -- 'cross bikes allow the use of wider, "knobby" tires for traction on unpaved roads.
bulletBraking -- 'cross bikes use mountain-bike style V-brakes, more powerful than the typical dual-pivot brakes on regular road bikes.  Cannondale also offers a disc brake 'cross bike.
bulletRoad bike performance when you're on pavement.

Whether you're a casual rider or a competitor, Trek and Cannondale offer some of the nicest 'cross bikes on the market.

* T.A.M. stands for Trail Around Middlebury
