Cycling Ulster presents the Youth CX Summer series.
The series aims to:
• Introduce more young riders to cyclocross during the warmer months.
• Provide shorter, more accessible events for those who may not have experienced CX before.
• Create enjoyable opportunities for young people to make friends and socialise through cycling.
• Encourage the development of fundamental bike handling and cycling skills.
• Provide a pathway into autumn and winter cyclocross competition.
• Offer a safe off-road environment where young people can develop confidence on their bikes.
Cyclocross is one of the best disciplines for developing all-round cycling ability. Through a combination of bike handling, balance, cornering and decision-making skills, young riders gain confidence that benefits them across all areas of cycling.
11 Rounds will take place around the Province.
