There’s a serious lack of age-graded junior racing in our region and we are hoping to force a change. With UCI Worlds arriving at our doorstep next winter we should be doing more as a CX community to foster the next era of racing and holding more events geared toward younger riders.
To help solve this issue, we’re hosting a youth race in September – the first annual Rocky Hill CX Festival featuring KiddyCross to benefit the Rocky Hill Cooperative Nursery School in Rocky Hill, NJ. We’re still working on the exact location, but we’ll likely hold the race in either Hopewell or Rocky Hill, both of which are a short drive from Philly and NYC. The race will feature two courses: a short-track oval for kids under 10 and a standard CX course for all other categories. We’re also offering masters categories to keep the moms and dads happy, too.
If you’re new to CX, don’t despair – we’re hoping to have a fleet of demo bikes on hand for the day and will be holding beginner’s session before the racing gets underway to help you learn the basics.
