Dirty Docker 2024
From the event website:
Cross Vegas is a CycloCross off-road event. It is run over a technical course featuring grass, mud, sand and obstacles – all on a bike that’s not too far from a road bike.
BOOK TICKETS HERE!
DISTANCE: 2km
MEN’S: 25min + 1 lap
WOMEN’S: 20min + 1 lap
NEWCOMERS MEN & WOMEN: 15min + 1 lap
KIDS: 800m, 5 laps
The course will be a lap of ~2km starting in the centre of the Fiesta Village and then looping around Lancefield Park, combining some of the unique natural features of the surrounding landscape.
Depending on which race you decide on, you will complete several laps before finishing back in the Fiesta Village.
The best thing about Cyclo-Cross is that it’s fun. This will not be an officially sanctioned race, but closer to an exhibition where it’s all about getting you involved. It’s traffic-free and safe for kids, so it is a great place to bring the little ones and get them started.
This is a great chance to get stuck into a new and exciting CX race, or just to have a go at CX in the newcomer’s category if you haven’t already raced.
If you have a bike, bring it along and give it a try. It doesn’t matter if you bring a CX, gravel or MTB as long as you bring the good vibes!
You do NOT need an AusCycling race membership to ride this race

From the event’s Facebook page:
Let's Talk About CX is back!
This ANZAC Day we'll be talking about CX at our annual Bumper CX Skills Session, where we'll cover all the basic cyclocross skills you'll need to start in the sport of CX - or even shake off the rust from the long off-season!
Some things will be slightly different this year, with a shift in location to TH Westfield Park (about 2km from Guide Dogs). There's a shelter and a public BBQ there, and we'll have a picnic lunch afterwards that we hope will make it easier for kids and families to come and have a shred.
Feel free to stick any questions in the comments - otherwise we'll see you there!
Keep an eye on the Let’s Talk About CX website and Facebook group page for further details.
