What is the London Cyclo Cross League?
The Mosquito Bikes London Cyclo-Cross League is run by the London Cyclo-Cross Association (LC-CA).
We thank our sponsor for another year – Mosquito Bikes
The season long event is based on:
Seniors/Women/Veterans/Vet 50+
Junior/Youth/Under 12/Under 10
Best 8 rounds to count. 50% rounded up to the whole number above, so that there cannot be two winners who have never met. If we lose a round for any reason it will be down to best 7
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 Association. This costs £40 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:

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:
Under 10 – £1
Under 12 – £1

Please note that race entry for all cross events for Juniors, Seniors, Vets and Women are subject to a small levy if you are not a member of British Cycling – click here to join
