Neil Mansfield is the host of the show and the cyclocross uber-geek. He races for Grity Race Team and his family all love cross. He has been podcasting since 2015 and over-analysing racing using spreadsheets for a lot longer. He helps Caroline (Mrs M) run Grity Sustainable Sports Apparel.

Matt Payne is the voice of British cyclocross having been on the mic for all of the big races for years. He is a professional commentator regularly heard at raceside, and also on TV and streamed coverage for all cycling disciplines. He has long experience of professional race promotion, but also a passion for grass-roots opportunity from being the brains and voice of e-Sports to UCI commentary, to organising local league races.
Xan Crees is a double British Elite Women's champion, having taken titles in both gravel and cyclocross. Now racing the pro-circuit as an elite, she has been a cyclocrosser at heart since she was a youth. With first hand experience of pretty much every course out there, and knowing how to win UCI races, she brings the insight of a pro-athlete.
