Cyclocross racing is all about maintaining momentum. There will be obstacles, there will be tricky surfaces, and there will be people stumbling in front of you. All of these things may cause you to need to get off your bike, and knowing how to remount quickly could make all the difference to your result.
As well as being about momentum, by the way, cyclocross is also really good fun. It’s one of the most accessible forms of racing around, and the format of riders completing lap after lap until the time is up means unless you’re following closely (or keeping count on the timing board) it’s really hard to tell who is coming first or last.
