Numbat Cup16 at the spiritual home of WACX Garvey Park

It's back, Numbat Cup16, 6th round Sunday 28 August set up starts at 0830.

After such a popular season of CX races, Fish Market Reserve, Edward Millen Reserve, Garvey Park Edgewater Quarry, Guildford Grammar (Swamp Rat Cross) we are ready to take on Perth’s premier ‘cross course for the last time in 2016.

Sand, mud, stairs, barriers, grass, sand, cowbells, heckles and a great location for photos.

As this is the State CX Champs the Elite me will be going around for 60mins so we have brought the timings forward, so take note - don’t be late.

This requires course constructed quicker, the more hands and mallets the better.

Remember WACX is by rider for riders, if you want to race, help, it isn’t hard, you get to see the transition from a blank canvas to a cross course and get an inside into the lines that are trying to be set.

This round due to the popularity of the Men’s Masters +40 we have split it into a B and C grade, if you want to race  60mins, step-up into Men’s Elite - because cyclocross isn't meant to be easy.

Kids – the more the merrier, they can still rego on the day Race starts at 1200, rego from 1100 – 1130. 

**** $10 cash on the day****

 

Timing – we do our best, this is all about the Race against the clock, the course and each other. So have fun and enjoy, remember its not for potato fields...elbows out and eys down.

Adults - Race Numbers keep them from your last race, if we can we will check them off at the start line.
