Info for Riders

Bolsover & District CC are again hosting a Cyclocross Race -

Sherwood Forest Cross

At brand new venue on the 4th January 2020 don't expect this to be like Sherwood Pines or even a usual domestic cross course, we have secured exclusive access to some of the most varied terrain in the county with the available height gain of over 50m from the lowest to the highest point and everything from mown lawns to wood to gorse dotted moorland. "its got the potential to be one of the best CX venues in the UK and can rival most of the continental cross venues"

With the opportunity of being able to create a course how we wanted it to feel we have taken into account the time of year, the wet season so far, the wide variety of experience & skills (World Champions to beginners) and also the National CX Championships the weekend after.

This years course is 2.5km long with 32m of ascent & descent per lap. It is all in excess of 3m wide with an average width of 4m and a maximum width of 8m. It has gravel, woods, banks, cambers, drops, roots and of course some grass sections.

We think we have a course pretty much everyone will enjoy racing so see the end of the description for a full run through the course or even better follow, like, share and watch out for videos & pictures on Facebook in the run up to the race!

As with all Notts & Derby races there is an exclusively female only race catering for Junior, Senior & Veteran Women
as well as races for U9 Boys & Girls, U12 Boys & Girls , U14 &U16 Boys & Girls, Vet men, Junior & Senior Men

One of the thing we love about cross is the teamwork and camaraderie especially in the pit so we have made sure the pit is as near as possible to the parking areas and you don't need to cross the course to get to the pit or the jet wash area!

We have covered warm up & spectating areas, Feedback Sports Neutral Warm up Turbos, Podium Catering, Cafe2U Coffee and would love to see you there!
