London League Calendar

[chamoniards]

Just pinched this from LCS, put the dates in your diary:

The London and South East Cross League features races in London, Kent, Sussex and Surrey, and incorporates the Sussex Cyclo Cross League.

The league is once more sponsored by Mosquito Bikes and the London League differs in that it also holds an Under 10s race.

New for 2009/10 is that all races will feature a pit area - The cyclo-cross commission meeting this year, decided that for 2009/10 that all cross races would see a ban on the handing up of drinks outside a pit area and that replacement bikes or wheels etc. should also be confined to the pit area.

It was also decided to charge all Under 12s £1 per rider, per race.

- Entry on the line for all
- Senior, Youth and Under 12, 10 and 8s races for women and men
- Full details to be posted nearer date in the calendar
- MTB's very welcome
- U12s are free

Kevin, I've made to race some of local cross events (I can buy a bike, but I can't spare much time to travel around the country)- but from what I can figure, there are only a handful near here:

- Herne Hill - tonight, 2Sep, 31Oct?, 20Dec, 3Jan, 7Feb

Is that everything close to Dulwich? Nothing at Crystal Palace, nothing at Brockwell Park?

I've tried looking on the BC website, but the site makes it hard to seach by location.

There's one at Hillingdon, one at Hog Hill, another at Foots Cray and one at a new place, Gunpowder Park which are all within the M25. The rest are all within an hour and a half of driving from London. It's worth making the effort to get to them.

That is pretty much it for the local races. The Hillingdon, Penshurst and Sidcup races are not too bad to get to, but most of the others eat up a day by the time you've travelled. It's more of a South of England Cross League really.

Still, it's nice to have a trip out.
