Cyclocross on the island is a bit of a big deal!

We’re lucky to have the Cross on the Rock race series, started in 2006, featuring several races up and down the island each year! Plus there’s a Wednesday night ‘practice’ race series, and the Tripleshot group has nearly daily cyclocross/gravel group rides. There’s lots of gravel riding and racing too!

For fun or a good warm-up to cyclocross, check out our Scrabblethon on Sept 6th, and of course there’s our own Victoria Segment Challenge GRAVEL EDITION that’s coming up in September and will run through November!

The 2025 season details for Cross on the road are now live, and Cross Club dates also posted, just waiting for confirmation on the BC Champs!
