The Rocky Hill CX Series, set amidst the picturesque landscapes of Rocky Hill’s parks and recreation areas, invites cyclists from novice racers to experienced Category 1 competitors for an exhilarating four-week training series. This unique opportunity begins on August 26th, continuing through September with races scheduled every Wednesday evening. Each session offers a blend of practice and competition, starting at 5:00 PM with a fun, no-pressure junior practice session hosted by CCAP staff and regional team coaches. Licensed junior riders under the age of 18 or middle/high school students can participate for $10; those on registered CCAP teams may join free of charge. For those looking to race competitively, the series features an open event at 6:15 PM each Wednesday. The races are designed to be fun and safe, catering to all skill levels with a relaxed atmosphere that encourages participation regardless of experience. USA Cycling licenses are required for entry; one-day beginner licenses can be purchased for $15. Registration fees are set at $40 for adults and $25 for juniors, though day-of registration is available on a space-available basis only due to limited spots in each field. Rain dates will be established if the course becomes unsuitable from wet conditions; participants will receive credits should an event need to be canceled. Volunteers are essential to ensure this series runs smoothly and are encouraged to sign up for reimbursement of their entry fees. For those new to cyclocross, a helpful video is available at THIS VIDEO link to introduce you to the sport's unique aspects. Whether you're training or racing, join us in celebrating cycling within Rocky Hill’s vibrant community!

About Rocky Hill
Learn more about the host city, Rocky Hill.
Rocky Hill is a town in Hartford County, Connecticut, United States. The town is part of the Capitol Planning Region. The population was 20,845 at the 2020 census. It was originally land of the Wangunks. Europeans began to settle the area of Rocky Hill in 1650, as part of Wethersfield, the neighboring town to the north. In 1722, the area became known as Stepney Parish, until it was independently incorporated in 1843. Rocky Hill’s location on the Connecticut River made it a natural port for Wethersfield and an early center for shipbuilding, agriculture, and trade.
