Oh and shouldn't cyclo-cross be a sub-section of racing? That's what it is, after all.

Not shoved in with all the beardy-weirdies and their go-karts.

That raises an interesting point. Consider what you've just said.
Cyclocross is a type of racing, but mountain biking isn't.
So do you ONLY ever do cyclocross when you're in a race?

That suggests that the ONLY reason you would do cyclocross is for the fun of the race, not for the fun of cyclocross itself, and that therefore by definition cyclocross is about as much fun as riding a penny farthing over cobbles.

Yes bonj. Cyclocross is a racing disciplne. I ride the track, but it's not really a popular leisure activity. (dunno why not.... )

I ride track to get better at riding track. The end is the means.

Riding a cyclocross bike off-road, but not in a race, fits neatly into the 'off-road category, n'est-ce-pas?

But it isn't cyclo-cross just because you're on a 'cross bike.

Try a race or two. You might just find you like it.
