About

Bunbury Christmas Cyclocross 2022 is on again, following on from last year’s super fun and successful event series at Hands Oval, including the hilarious “Santa Cross” to finish the evening.

That will be followed by some well deserved drinks and food at the South Bunbury Bar. Spectators can start celebrating early!🎅😛

The event is proudly sponsored by Bunbury Cycles, MaD Cycles, Melo Velo and Last Slice Pizza for what should be another great Friday evening and Xmas celebration with great food, drinks, racing and good vibes.

Non riders are welcome to come, watch and enjoy some food and drinks also. Just enter in the not so fast race to pay for your drink and food.

With over 70 riders and many family members of all ages taking part last year we plan to continue what has become a great fun evening looked forward to by both riders and spectators alike, now with pumping tunes, commentary and Contuined course modifications.

This Cyclocross series run by Ferguson Valley MTB conjunction with the SWCC and assistance from the Bunbury Tri Club.

It is principally all about fun and open to anyone on any bike including Ebikes with working brakes.

There are 2 short events for kids 2-7(150m) and 8-13 year olds(1.5km). The first ride.is mass start while the second is a handicap ride giving the slower riders a headstart. The winner overall is decided by placings in both events.

There are 2 races for over 13 year olds and adults divided into not so fast riders and faster riders with both events handicapped based on previous results and guesswork. Both events are 25-30 min long.

We would like to thank the Bunbury Tri Club for their support with bollards and timing system, Prime for suppling the bunting and Last Slice for the weekly Bottomless Bowls of ice cream for the kids, Golden and Silver pizzas plates for the adults.

A small fee $8 & $15 will cover the race entry and include a free beer, wine or soft drink, sausage sizzle/slow cooked beef or pork and salad supplied and served by our sponsors.

You must register beforehand and be an Auscycling member or become one using a free 4 week trail offer or for a small monthly fee. ( see links and details below)

This is a chance to have some short races on varying terrain whilst being egged on by fellow crazy cyclists and supporters enjoying the South Bunbury Bar and Bbq facilitates overlooking the course.

We are excited to run a series of Bunbury Cyclocross events over the next 6 Friday evenings at Hands Oval, with full support of an open Bar and BBQ facilities and grandstand overlooking almost the entire course on the embankment and grassed areas surrounding the oval. [See map noting course will change week to week and while going very close to the bar it doesn’t actually go through it! ;)) Sorry! :))
