This week\u2019s social media round-up has been an education for me. ‘Turbo-cross’ – I\u2019d never heard of this discipline-bending cycling sub-genre before delving into a few of our news editor, Adam Becket<\/a>\u2019s selections. It is \u201cthe fast-forward version of cyclo-cross<\/a>, where creators dive into the mud for a wild ride across obstacles custom-built for Turbo,\u201d according to Turbocross.be<\/a>, and is, rather paradoxically, the brain child of a man called \u2018Average Rob\u2019. Sign me up for next year, it sounds absolutely wild.<\/p>\n

That features quite heavily in this week’s social media round-up, but don’t fear, there is more!<\/p>\n

3. Is this worse than an OTB onto solid ground? I can\u2019t quite decide. Influencer Stien Edlund goes headfirst into the canal during a wintery turbo-cross race. <\/p>\n

4. Twice is a charm – Edlund successfully stays dry on her second attempt at the newly named, \u2018Stein corner\u2019, armbands and all.<\/p>\n
