Orwell Wheelers is proud to be the host club for the 2017 Irish National Youth CycloCross Championships.
The Under-16 Boys, Under-16 Girls, Under-14 Boys and Under-14 Girls races are championship events. With medals and National Champions’ Jerseys.
The Under-10 and Under-12 race will not be a championship event, it will be a support race.
There will also be an Under-6 and Under-8 Strider race.
There will be a limited number of CycloCross bikes available for racing. These will be free of charge. They will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
As with other Youth CycloCoss Events, we ask Parents to bring smiles and to be supportive of all riders.
