CXers that XC
If you check out the Birkie survey results you'll see that of all the types of bike racers that do the Birkie cyclocross racers do the most total number of bike races. It's on page 3 of the results. That's because we're so hardcore, right? I have a feeling that Dave and I skewed the results (along with possibly JPE, Michele, Shannon, Paul Schoening and a few other crossing skiers who possibly did the survey). I appreciate that Ned included cyclocross in the questionnaire so I didn't have to write it in under "other".

I think it's because 'cross is the dorkiest type of bike racing, and cross country skiing is the dorkiest type of, well, anything, except obviously roller skiing (see photo below for evidence), but that's just part of cross country skiing, so it adds to the general dorkiness of the entire endeavor.
In any event, what you're really noticing is that dorky people tend to do dorky things. I'm not sure any sore of alleged 'hard core' characteristic is involved.
