A growing number of Coasters are discovering the joy of cyclocross racing! Because we want to share that joy, we're putting on our second informal cyclocross racing day. This is very much designed to be an introduction to the sport and is suitable for anyone, adult or child (...as long as they can ride a bike!).
This event is being run by Wadebridge Coasters CC under the auspices of British Cycling. There is no charge and the atmosphere will be 'informal' and relaxed! It is not part of any league and is primarily aimed at those with little or no previous experience of cyclocross. However, seasoned veterans are still welcome to come and showcase their skills as long as they don't take it too seriously! The emphasis is firmly on participation and fun.
Practical detailsWHEN
Saturday 19th January 12.30pm onwards WHERE St Breock School, Tremarren Road, Wadebridge PL27 7XL If you have to drive, you'll need to park on the road, not on the school site please.
