The only Cyclocross racing in the west is back!

1400 this Sunday (Jun 16th) at Success Hill Reserve, Bassendean.

Inspired by the hardcore winter racing all around the world, we’ve shifted to winter and found 3 great venues, culminating in a uniquely aussie track to be raced as the state championships on the 18th of August.

Cyclocross is a mixture of road and mountain bike racing, incorporating obstacles which must be dismounted and run past, and fast open sections. The courses are excellent for spectators, and you’ll be able to see the whole race from the comfort of your camping chair, not to mention.

The elite and support categories are restricted to those riding a Cyclocross bike. That means drop bars, and tyres no wider than 35mm. Yes, that means your road bike is also a cyclocross bike! All the courses will be able to be ridden on a road bike, although perhaps not as fast as on a specialist machine. Dont have a cross bike? Never fear, Focus Bikes have stepped on board as a sponsor and will have some demo bikes at the races for you to try, and the open class can be raced on your mountain bike.

If you have a Cycling Australia Licence, please email me gr.murison@gmail.com with details and what grade you would like to race, and I will allocate you a number based on you showing me your licence on the day. You do not need to buy a day licence if you are registered with Cycling Australia.

This race is the first race of the Superwestige season, and will be followed in July by the race in Bardon Park Maylands, and in August with the state championships at Garvey Park, Belmont.
