Who would have thought it, when Velobants announced they wanted to try and break the UK record for the largest all-women cyclocross race it seemed like an almost impossible task, how wrong were we? Last weekend 165 women (juniors, seniors and vets) lined up at the site of the 2014 CX World Cup race in Campbell Park, Milton Keynes. It was truly amazing, and it wasn’t only the womens’ field that was large, big fields in both the Mens Vet40s and 50s, plus a large list of youth riders, a massive total of 857 riders in total. One of the things that were so fantastic on the day was the wonderful mix ..read more

Given the uncertainty and the unlikely return to normality any time soon, we have taken the decision to defer the league until next year (2021). This is on the grounds of safety and with respect and consideration for our riders, volunteers, organisers and officials. There may well be some races organised at club level which may provide some ‘pop-up’ racing if the situation eases, but there is no way we can plan and deliver the juggernaut that is now the CCXL with any level of certainty, hence the decision to defer and to advise you early. I know you will all be disappointed and it is not a dec ..read more

2019 has been a great season here in CCXL. 12 rounds of exciting cyclo-cross action with lots of different venues, including a record-breaking field at Round 3 in Campbell Park to an amazing technical course at our last round at Rockingham. We have also seen our Womens only race grow in strength, with higher numbers on average than the previous 2018 season, and we hope this continues in 2020. The action has been fast and furious across all categories and we hope that all of our riders have a nice break from cyclo-cross and come back in September 2020 for our new season. If you want to keep up ..read more
