Team Red Wheel only finds it appropriate to give some helpful pointers to make next weekend's cyclocross race one for the ages. So we've included some useful clips of some heckling we approve of.
#1 You could be completely crass such as the from clip above...although it is pretty freakin' hilarious, it may not make you the most popular person in the crowd...in some ways even offensive, but please refrain from using the cliches, "That bike isn't going to carry itself!" "Pedal harder!" "You're supposed to run up those stairs not walk them!" We've all heard these before. Be innovative and bring some spice!
#2 The team effort is always an effective tactical approach, and what's cyclocross without costumes. To make matters fun, we challenge everyone to bring a costume, or wear an ugly sweater...It 'tis the season!
#3...go solo! Bring some props! Now, just a warning, this could subject you to retaliation from the riders, but hey, the rest of the heckling party will love it!
#4 Ahhhhh...the THUNERDOME! Why not!?!?!!? We encourage the kind gesture of dollar donations and much needed refreshments. If you're like me...one of the slowest cyclocross riders of all time, a dollar donation may be the only time in a riders life they are rewarded with money from a bike race.
We'll see everyone exactly one week from today! Don't forget about the Saturday night pub ride...what????
