The Technical Guide 2018 Ontario Provincial Cyclo-Cross Championships Sunday, West Riverside Park, Belleville
BellevilleOnBikes is excited to host our fifth annual cyclocross event. We are especially pleased to have the continued full support of The City of Belleville and the Parks Dept! This year we have been awarded the O-Cup Provincial Championship race and look forward to hosting racers from the GTA and other areas of the province. Our course is challenging and includes some interesting features such as a wood chip alley, lots of hill climbing and a steep run-up. There are also some off camber turns and a gravel chute to keep you spinning those cranks. We look forward to riding with you in November.
