Cyclocross Hawke's Bay is proud to present the 2012 Specialized National Cyclocross Champs, to be held on the 8th July, at EIT, Taradale.
This is the first time cyclocross will be a official sanctioned BikeNZ event in New Zealand. BikeNZ have recongnised the importance of having another form of exciting cycle racing and have endorsed the national event for the first time. In the past Hamilton and Queenstown have run numerous successful National events. BikeNZ have also gained a UCI status for the 2012 event. This is the first time a UCI cyclocross event will be held in Australasia. The UCI recently decided they needed to grow the sport on a worldwide stage, and with the strong growth of Cyclocross in New Zealand and Australia it looks to be a new breeding ground for international cyclocross talent.
With cyclocross in its first development stage's in New Zealand, we would like to ask for your support to help promote this exciting new winter sport. With 7 regions offering Cyclocross series racing of 4-6 races each, including a 5 race National points series. Hawke's Bay will hold the national champs, including a all-comers race for anyone wanting to try out this new sport.
For those thinking ahead and keen to be involv ed in the CX event being held on the last day of Napier’s ‘Ride of Your Life’ weekend, the course map is now availble online. Simply copy and paste this link into your browser
