National CycloCross Trophy

THIS WEEKEND:

HSBC British Cycling National CycloCross Trophy

Round 2 Westmorland

5th – 6th October 2019

Westmorland Showground,

Cumbria LA7 7NH

Organised by North West Cyclocross Association and Wheelbase Cycles, with GoCross kids racing by Kendal Cycle Club

NATIONAL TROPHY CYCLOCROSS RETURNS TO THE NORTH WEST:

A hotbed for cyclocross, the North West will host a National Trophy round for the first time since 2005. The Westmorland County Showground venue has staged a North West league event in the past four seasons and this year has been upgraded to a National Trophy event.

The course is likely to be muddy and slippy with some sections of respite over hard-packed tracks. Riders will face some steep gradients around the Showground, ranging from power-climbs to out-and-out carrying sections. It’ll be a testing course guaranteed to make for exciting racing and spectating.

Access to the Westmorland Showground is very easy from the M6 and with plenty of car parking and on site catering from Leivers And Co and Coffee Bug
