Typical cyclocross courses are 2 to 2.5 km loops on a mix of paved and off-road surfaces over flat-to-rolling terrain. The races are not on roads but are on closed courses located in parks and park like areas. Races last 45mins plus a lap and 30mins plus a lap for our beginner category. But, what makes cross such a unique and challenging sport is that courses For example, most courses feature short, steep (often muddy) sections, which are nearly impossible to ride. There can be sandpits, steep descents and technical singletrack, too. Also, courses include series of man-made barriers scattered around the course requiring riders to carry their bikes over or, if they’re really talented, to jump their bikes over the obstacles. It’s this combination of cycling, stunt riding, carrying, running and scrambling over obstacles that makes cyclocross so exciting, such a phenomenal workout and so darn much fun!. If you’re not competitive, you’ll still love the way cross improves your skills. Trails that once worried you will seem tame and you’ll be able to ride sections you had to walk before. This is held in a race format and will be timed. These events are held rain or shine, or snow as long as the weather does not pose a danger to the riders. For those of you concerned that you don’t have a cross bike, a mountain bike will be an excellent substitute. Cross is an awesome spectator sport, so please come out and enjoy the excitement and of course the heckling.
