Cyclo Cross Racing |
A cross-country cycling race
which will have both "on-road" and "off-road" sections in which riders
can either use a specifically designed cyclo-cross bicycle, a road
bicycle
with cyclo-cross tires or a mountain bike. The course is usually
made
up of a number of laps around a short circuit and in at least one place
the rider will have to dismount and carry his/her bicycle over an
obstacle.
The races are normally organised during the winter months with
races for the senior riders lasting around one hour. There are
usually a full list of support races for the youth (Under 8s up to
Under 16s) as well as a mountain bike support race. The main
cross race is an exciting affair with lots for spectators to see as
riders all through the positions compete for position. Great fun!
