Victoria is pleased to play host to this season’s Cyclocross Provincial Championships, slated for Sunday November 18th at Western Speedway and presented by Broad Street Cycles and Shimano.
Bookending a weekend of bike racing on Vancouver Island, the 2018 CX Provincial Championships offers an opportunity to line up with the best in BC, and vie for a championship jersey. As day two of a duo of race days at Western Speedway– Victoria’s perennial mud-fest CX venue– the provincial championships will offer an updated version of Saturday’s Cross on the Rock course. Come for the weekend, and explore the gritty side of Victoria: mud, gravel, and grime on a motorsport racing track.
Battling it out for a provincial podium, Cycling BC Race and UCI Licence holders will have the opportunity to compete in age categories throughout the day. Holding a Cycling BC Ride Licence, or still rolling as an unlicensed racer? Register for the Open Men and Open Women’s categories held that same day.
The fight for a men’s and women’s singlespeed CX title will be one of the most closely watched on the day, with racers struggling through slop with only one gear. Bring your flat-bars, fat tires and sense of irreverence: all are welcome in this category that defies categorization.
