About the Event

Join us for an exhilarating Friday night of cyclo-cross, designed to cater to novice riders and young cyclists. Whether you're male or female, this event offers a welcoming environment where newcomers can enjoy the thrill of competitive cycling without the pressure of ranking points or prizes.
The evening features separate but concurrent events for novice adult participants and youth under 16 years old. Riders will have the opportunity to socialize and refuel with pizza and drinks at the conclusion of their respective races, adding a festive atmosphere to an already exciting night out on the course.
Please note that category divisions are based on last season's age classifications, but starting September 1st, new categories for 2026 will be implemented. For safety reasons, we cannot accommodate riders who wish to compete in higher or lower age groups as it would affect our insurance coverage.
Entry registration is available until Wednesday at midnight, or when the event reaches full capacity. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to experience cyclo-cross racing in a supportive and friendly setting.
Join us for an evening filled with camaraderie, competition, and fun!
