Looking Back At Cyclocross

For the second consecutive year, and like many children across the UK and Europe, our kids competed in cyclocross races. In the 2018-2019 season, our kids participated in every CX race in our local league. This season, they took part in every race except one.

Cyclocross is the perfect starting point for kids to get into racing. Races are usually in parkland or fields so there’s no traffic and the ground is (mostly) soft if they fall off their bikes in their enthusiasm.

Cyclocross is a gateway discipline to other areas of cycling. Tom Pidcock has competed in CX, road and MTB. Evie Richards in CX and MTB. Anna Kay and Ben Tulett compete in CX and road.
