Welsh ‘Cross season set for Blackweir Park climax
Blackweir Park will welcome hundreds of cyclists next month, as Cardiff gets ready for the Welsh cyclo-cross League Final.
The final round of the 2011 ‘Cross Welsh season will see cyclists of all ages competing for vital league points as the event reaches it’s climax on Sunday December 18.
Less technically demanding than mountain biking, cyclo-cross is a sport for all ages
Last season’s runner-up, Joe Lally, currently leads the field in the Men’s Senior division with 518 points, while Claire Bowen is setting the pace for the women.
Although the event is extremely competitive and will decide the winners of each league division, event organizer Graham Barker explains how cyclo-cross is a sport for all comers.
“It’s ideal for beginners,” says Graham. “People take it very seriously but there is a huge range of ability.”
