The CCXL Summer CX Series consists of 4 x Wednesday evening races, all hosted by a different club. Each club will put their own personal spin on the course, food and even play lists. The Summer CX races are a little more chilled than the normal league races, but still have the normal sites of timing, sign on, food and hydration.

Riders who are affiliated to the Central CX League will get discounted entry to the races. Affiliate to the league below.

Race Format

Each of the 4 races will be designed by a different CCXL club, each with their own different twists, even down to the playlist pumping at the start line. There will be food trucks from Belgian Frites. Electronic timing provided by the ‘Daft Punk’ of digital race timing – ‘Bony’. (Bill & Tony) and a beer tent with some tunes to get us all into that horizontal chillaxed atmosphere.

The race will generally be the same as any other CCXL race, a gridding area, start and finish line, and the course marked out with tape (maybe not all of it). The summer series races are evening races with 2 waves across the entire session. There is an U8/10/12 race starting at 5:20. The U12s go off first and then the U8/10s. If you / your children are thinking about on coming get them to bring along a friend !

There is 2 adult waves (including Junior riders), the first at 5:35 and the second at 7:20 .The youth race will be sandwiched  in between the adult races at 6:40

Please try and race in the same wave every week, as these are the riders you are racing against, to get an overall series position you need to race 3 of the 4 rounds.
