Rosny Park

Cyclocross (also known as CX) is a mix between road riding and cross-country mountain biking. It started as a winter season alternative to 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, steep hills and more. It’s a sometimes 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 who ever completes the most laps in 45 minutes being declared the winner. CX is less technical than traditional Cross-Country Racing and has the addition of sections of track where participants need to dismount and run with their bikes.
