Course set up will take place on Sunday from 08:00am and we would request as many to help as we can.  Anyone helping with course set up will get the benefit of a pre event practice once the course is built.

Please note that our Cyclocross season extends from 2023 into 2024, age classifications are based on your 2024 age groupings in line with British Cycling classifications.

We look forward to welcoming you all on Sunday.
