Whether you are completely new to the discipline of cyclocross, or a returning veteran: please consider stopping by for a casual chat with others interested in the sport. Unsure whether your bike is set up properly? Looking for clinics or practices? Overwhelmed by instructional Youtube videos? Help is on the way!

The cyclocross season runs from mid-September through the first week of December (but the primary events are 7 consecutive Sundays from 10/19 through Thanksgiving). It is a niche discipline of bicycle competition popular in the Midwest, consisting of 30-45 minutes of rather intense circuit racing over mixed (road, gravel, grass) terrain. Hyde Park has a handful of dedicated adherents, many of whom are more than willing to share their experience & foster new folks into the sport.

Refreshments will be available.
