Entries are now open! You can sign up for this race here.
Venue: Old Golf Course at Rosny Park.
Cyclocross (sometimes known as CX) is a mix between road roading and cross country mountain biking. It started as winter road racing in Northern Europe many decades ago.
Races are held over short courses with racers avoiding obstacles (which may require dismounting), riding on grass, gravel, step hills and more. It’s a muddy, fun experience for all ages of riders.
Online Entries Only: No entries will be accepted on the day
