About the Event

Join us for an exciting Friday night of Cyclo-Cross, where the focus is on fun and community over competition. This unique evening event welcomes novice riders of all genders to participate alongside young cyclists under 16 years old. The novice race runs concurrently with but separately from the Youth Under 16 category.
With no ranking points or prizes awarded, this event offers a relaxed atmosphere for newcomers to experience the thrill of cyclo-cross in a supportive environment. Enjoy pizza and drinks at the post-race gathering, where everyone can unwind and celebrate their achievements together.
Entry categories are based on last season's age groups, with changes taking effect from September 1st. Please note that riders will not be allowed to compete in higher age brackets as this would compromise our insurance coverage. Entries close by Wednesday midnight or when the event reaches full capacity, so sign up early to secure your spot.
This is a fantastic opportunity for beginners and young cyclists alike to dive into the world of cyclo-cross with minimal pressure and maximum enjoyment.
