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!
We host our own events as well! Currently running (Dec 2025/Jan 2026) is the all-new Winter GravelQuest! Plus we host other occasional events, such as the Scrabblethon!
As we head into the 2026 season details for cyclocross events and gravel events are appearing, lots of draft as well as confirmed events, check back for updates as we move into the year!
