Cyclocross racing in Perth made a successful debut at Claremont Showgrounds on December 3rd. Organised by members of the Perth Mountain Bike Club, the series will run for 3 Rounds with 4 grades of racing (A, B and C and Women).
Round 2 of the Sweat and Sand Cyclocross series will be held at Midvale Speeddome this Saturday the 14th with racing starting from 5pm.
Much like the course at Claremont, the Speeddome course will be able to be ridden on any form of bike, as long as it has brakes. Racing will be open to those with MTBA or CA licenses, an MTBA Day license can be purchased for $20.
The courses are really spectator friendly, so if you don’t think you will ride come a long for some fun and bring your cow bell!
Round 3 of the series will be will be at Bardon Park in Maylands on March 10th. The Bardon Park round will double as the WA Cyclocross Championships.
