Beginner Friendly
Have not raced before? This is a perfect place to see if you like cross. Show up early to get a little practice. This is your chance to try it out!
You don't even need a special bike! All you need is: Two wheels, A brake on each wheel, a Freewheel, and handlebar ends that do not point forwards or up. Mountain bikes work great!
