Cyclocross tires

I am amazed at Cyclocross. I have a hard enough time on dirt with my wide handlebars on my mountain bike and staying upright. I'm not sure how those guys and gals do it with drop handlebars, must just have lots of straight-a-ways. I got this email from Specialized because I am on their mailing list and it had some tires shown for Cyclocross. And it makes me want to bite the bullet and try this different type of cycling.

Thankfully, I think I'm still a ways out from doing something this nutty.

Cheers,
