Eastern League CX - Upcoming Events

Now I know that quite a few of the Eastern Cyclo-cross League events are far afield across Essex and East Anglia but the closest events are coming up in the coming month:

CC Ashwell Cross (near Hitchin) - www.britishcycling.org.uk/events/details...stern-League-Round-7 - 9th October
Welwyn Cross, Stanborough Park, Welwyn - www.britishcycling.org.uk/events/details...stern-League-Round-8 - 16th October
St Ives Cross, Grafham Water - www.britishcycling.org.uk/events/details...tern-League-Round-10 - 30th October

Eastern CX League also has a "team points" competition which is based off the best three riders but also requires a minimum of three riders to compete. All the races you will get to do the whole race distance (national level CX you get pulled out if lapped) so can be a good introduction to CX if anyone wants to have a go. Be aware that the V40 and V50 races fill up VERY quickly!

For those of you that went and watched the CX at Milton Keynes a couple of years back there will be a National Trophy round at Trinity Park, Ipswich on 27th November if you want to watch the pros (and a number of the amateurs as anyone with a race license can enter).

Know anywhere where you can hire a CX bike?

Grafham?

or BC have some they lend to some clubs for training. If you're a member you might be able to borrow one of those?

plenty start with mountain bikes until they get the bug and do it properly!
