What is Cyclocross?
Cyclo Cross has been described by many as a hybrid between road cycling and mountain biking with a few obstacles thrown in for good measure. These off road events are open for people of all ages and all ability.
Competitive cyclo-cross events consist of multiple laps of a short (3.5km-3.5km) course which features varying terrain including pavements, wooded trails, grass, steep hills and obstacles. The rider must expect to be on and off the bike a lot and get very very muddy. Races for adults typically last between 30 and 60 minutes ad between 10 and 30 minutes for kids depending on their ages.
The majority of races will host all categories on the same day – under 10′s, under 12′s, youth, junior, senior and vets categories will all take to the start line at different times making it a brilliant day out for the whole family.
