Cyclo-Cross
West Suffolk Wheelers have an active Cyclocross section, who compete in the local Eastern Cyclocross league, which hosts events throughout the Eastern Counties from early September to the end of January. They also travel to events in both the Leicestershire and London leagues, as well as race in the 6 rounds of the National Trophy.
Further details of this year’s events can be found on the Eastern Cyclocross website: Eastern Cyclo-Cross League (which includes link to British Cycling for race entry)
The club will host a Round of the Eastern Cyclo-Cross League on Sunday 15th December 2024 at West Stow Country Park, Icklingham Road, West Stow, IP28 6HG. The British Cycling page for entries can be found here (entries open around 3 weeks before the event).
The event which in our opinion; is the best in the Region, but can only be hosted with the help of volunteers. If you would like to help, contact Karl Hale karlhale1137@btinternet.com or Peter Golding petergolding0@gmail.com . Here's our race report for last December's fixture.
As the season approaches, the Club holds training sessions at West Stow Country Park. Details are posted on the Club's Facebook page and will be circulated to WSW members via our Newsletter.
