Cyclocross racing in the Apple Isle!
Entries are now open! You can sign up for this race here.
Venue: North Warrane Oval
Join us for race two of the five race CX series for 2025. Round 2 is at North Warrane Oval to mix things up.
CX racing will be followed with a piece of cake post-race - and a handful of spot prizes.
There are three club races this week! Kings Cross, Selbourne & North Warrane CX. All riders doing will get something to recognise their status as a hardcore bike racer (well, at least an honourable mention at Warrane).
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
RACE DETAILS:
Cyclocross (CX) Racing involve multiple laps of a short, non-technical, mixed terrain circuit. Racing will be the “mini – enduro” format with whoever completes the most laps in 45 minutes being declared the winner. CX is less technical than traditional Cross-Country MTB Racing and has the addition of sections of track where participants need to dismount and run with their bikes.
Bikes:
All types of bike (and rider) are welcome to get involved and get rad! (as long as they have 2 working brakes, and bar plugs in the handlebars). Bring your cross, gravel or all-road bike or MTB
Grippy tyres are handy. We don't apply the UCI restriction of 33mm tyres - but you can pop those on your bike for an authentic experience if you wish!
