The only Cyclocross racing in the west is back!

Inspired by the hardcore winter racing all around the world, Greg has developed a uniquely Aussie track to be raced as the state championships on the 18th of August at Garvey Park Belmont.

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 getting some beers and cowbells out to cheer or heckle.

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, bring you mountain bike down and race a dirt crit in the open class.

If you have a Cycling Australia Licence, please email Greg Murison – 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 final race of the Superwestige season, and doubles as the state championships.

Registration – racing from 1400
