Welcome...
to the Waldrons West Midlands Cyclo-Cross League
We offer competitive off-road bike racing for all ages and abilities. You don’t need any specialist equipment to start, as long as your bike is safe for yourself and others.
The Waldrons West Midlands Cyclo-Cross League is supported by Waldrons Solicitors. They offer a quality personal service to both individuals and businesses within the West Midlands and Worcestershire from their six offices. Waldrons have considerable experience in road traffic accident and bicycle compensation claims. Check out their website or call them on 01384 811811
The League started on 11th September 2011 and runs until 29th January 2012. The Sunday events are organised by local clubs. There are different leagues for Under 10s; Under 12s; Under 14s; Under 16s; Junior Men (16 – 18); Senior men (18 - 40); Women; and Veteran men (40+).
Each event is different, but typically races will involve a mixture of technical and non-technical terrain on a short circuit – usually around a mile and a half. Some sections may require riders to dismount and carry their bikes. Race length varies from an hour for Senior men to around ten minutes for Under 10s. Lapped riders still get placed, so as long as you finish you’ll get a result.
The League is very friendly and welcomes beginners and elite riders alike.
The success of the League and the quality of our top riders was amply demonstrated at the 2011 - 2012 national Inter-Area Championships. West Midlands Teams took Gold in the Youth and Senior categories and Silver in the Veterans and the Women's categories. A first class result from first class cyclists!
