Trying Cyclocross for the first time
Hi, I've never tried Cyclocross before and am very keen to give it a go. Is there a suitable club session I could attend to get an introduction? Many thanks. Paul

There are many cyclocross racers in CC Ashwell, so you are asking the right people for advice!
Cylocross racing is a friendly sport with a wide range of abilities, so you can start as a novice without fear of standing out. We all primarily race in the local Eastern League but do occasional races in other leagues and also National events. The races are organised into age categories and last between 40 and 60 minutes depending on the age category you are racing in.
The next race is on Sunday October 24 at Stanborough Park in Welwyn. Why not come along and see what happens? (Details in the link to the Eastern League above). If you are feeling very brave there would be nothing stopping you from entering on the day! Cyclocross bikes are the best but mountain bikes are suitable too and permitted.
So if you come along to Stanborough Park on Sunday make sure you introduce yourself to one of us; you can’t miss the blue jerseys!
Thank you for this!
I can't make the race tomorrow (as have planned to do the club run) but will certainly come along to one of the next races and introduce myself. I'll bring my mountain bike along, in case a surge of enthusiasm conquers fear on the day! Very much looking forward to it.
