The atmosphere of cyclocross racing is what draws many racers and fans to the sport. Cyclocross is very spectator friendly with the courses set up in local parks, along with the short races happening at high speeds. Although the racing can be highly competitive on course, there’s a festival environment outside the course tape.
What is Cyclocross?
Cyclocross combines elements of road cycling, mountain biking, and steeplechase. Races are relatively short (20-60 minutes), held on 2.5- to 3.5-kilometer closed circuit courses in parks and open spaces. Riders race over varying amounts of pavement, grass, dirt, and sand.
Can I use a mountain bike or gravel bike for cyclocross?
Almost any standard bicycle with two wheels can be used for cyclocross at local cyclocross races. Bicycles with drop handlebars are standard equipment for cyclocross, but flat bars (with no forward or upward extensions) are allowed. Gravel bikes can be used for cyclocross races, Drop handlebars are required at USA Cycling Cyclocross National.
Tire Width Rules for Cyclocross
The condensed version is that any tire width is allowed for local USA Cycling-permitted cyclocross races.
Points for the Series
Points for each race will be awarded based on how many participants come and race. Winner of the series will be awarded
