South West Cyclo-Cross - Wellington

Cyclo-Cross is mix between mountain biking and road racing. It requires stamina and good bike handling skills. It is raced on fields and involves obstacles such as steep banks or wooden boards which require the rider to dismount and carry his/her bike.

This event is taking place at Court Fields Community School in Wellington. The races are less than an hour and considerably shorter for youths –so taking part does not require training.

You don't need a specific Cyclo-Cross bike to race, although the serious riders will have one, many riders will race on a mountain bike. You can turn up on any old mountain bike and still compete –so anyone can give it a go.
