CROSS IS COMING! NATIONAL TROPHY CYCLO-CROSS RETURNS TO CUMBRIA

National Trophy Cyclocross Round 2

Cross is coming! To the Westmorland Showground, Cumbria on Saturday the 9th and Sunday the 10th of October. The HSBC British Cycling National Trophy Round 2 supported by Wheelbase will see two days of action packed racing on a classic cyclocross course full of tight turns, off-camber banks, steep drops, grueling climbs, barriers and after almost two weeks of rain it’s almost guaranteed at this point that there’s going to be quite a bit of mud!

Wheelbase are proud to support Round 2 of the National Trophy Cyclo-Cross and will be in attendance throughout the weekend alongside chief organiser Dave Haygarth one of our very own Wheelbase Cabtech Castelli team racers who is running the event alongside his band of helpers from the North West Cyclocross Association and is ready to run this national level event just as smoothly as he has done in the previous two years.

There’s loads of racing throughout both days, with all age categories represented and culminating in the men’s and women’s Senior elite races on the Sunday afternoon..
