What is the London Cyclo Cross League?
The Mosquito Bikes/USE London Cyclo-Cross League is run by the London Cyclo-Cross Association (LC-CA).

We thank our sponsor for another year - Mosquito Bikes & USE

The season long event is based on:
Seniors/Women/Veterans/Vet 50+
Junior/Youth/Under 12/Under 10

Best 9 rounds to count. 50% rounded up to the whole number above, so that there cannot be two winners who have never met.

How do I join?
The races are open to all, but if you want to count in the London Cyclo-cross Series, you or your club must be affiliated to the London Cyclo-cross Assoiciation. This costs £25 for club/teams, £7 for individuals & nothing for clubs who promote a race. If you are still not sure whether you will be counted then contact us.

Please note that race entry for all cross events are subject to a £3 levy if you are not a member of British Cycling.

Download an affiliation form and fill it in, and then send it to our wonderful treasurer with a crisp cheque (Excel)

What if my club is based outside the London area?
It doesn't matter, any club or person can affiliate to the league.

Clubs that promote a round of the League do not pay an affiliation fee.

How do I find out how I'm doing overall?
The results will be printed at this web site during the season along with the results of London 'cross events.

How much does it cost?
We have set standard entry fees for London events this year of £4 - Youth (Under 16's) and £6 for junior and senior categories £10. Of course Under 12 races are free. 75p of the senior entry goes as a levy to the London League to improve the trophy fund and to develop 'cross in London.

Under 12 - born in 1995 or later
Youth U14 - born in 1993 or 1994
