Irvine Cyclo-cross …. Jan 2026

I was lucky to be able to attend the final event for the Lloyds Cyclo-cross National Trophy Series of 2025-26.

Cyclo-cross is cycle racing over rough terrain with steep hills, twisting tracks and tough sections where the riders must dismount and carry their bikes. In this particular event there was even a section that required riders to cross a section of sand on the beach. Races are held for different classes for men, women, kids, with different age ranges.
