Event update – City CX cancelled 😔
Sadly, we’ve had to make the tough call to cancel the inaugural City CX.
We appreciate it’s not the news you want to hear, but with the demand not there at this point in time, we couldn’t responsibly run the event in May 2021. We were aiming for a fun, unique, off-road CX event and are disappointed we can’t see it through for you.
Registered riders will automatically receive a refund for their ticket within the next 10 business days.
Bicycle Network will be back with the events you know and love in 2021 and will continue to work with Fed Square to bring bike riding events into the heart of the city. Thank you for your support,
Whether you are a regular at the local crits or need all the help you can get to prepare for the gruelling sprint around the City CX course, we’re here to help you get event-ready.
