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!
And of course there’s our own Victoria Segment Challenge GRAVEL EDITION that’s on now as well!
The 2024 season details are pretty much set, check them out below!
