The torrential rain in recent days in both Britain and Ireland has had a big impact on cyclocross courses. This video is from Round 8 of the Central CX league which took place last weekend in Kettering, Northamptonshire.
The video was posted by Nigel Bennett with the message “What a gent, even put the post back in ground.”
It looks like he deliberately slid down, and if he hadn’t knocked down the pole, it could have been a quicker approach than trying to run down.
