London Summer Cross: Overview

Summercross races are about fun and encouraging riders new to CX to have a go, the race format is simple with courses that are less technical than in the autumn leagues. They can be ridden on cyclocross, gravel or mountain bikes. The races are straightforward, ‘one bike’ races, meaning there are no pits, spare bikes or formal grids. You’re welcome to carry a repair kit and use it during the race. 

Podium prizes will be awarded on the night for the top 3 riders in each race, and race results will be published here, usually within 24 hours of the race. These races are non ranking, so there are no BC points available.

‍ ‍Ride the course preview on the Wednesday evening before the racing: Wednesday 1st, 8th, 15th and 29th July - more details below.

Entries close 10pm Wednesday the week of the race - No entries on the day.

Special thanks to our sponsor.
