HSBC UK National Cross-Country Series Announced

Fancy getting your lycra on and your heart rate up? British Cycling has confirmed the dates for the 2020 HSBC UK National Cross-Country Series.

The series will kick off in Hadleigh in March, before moving on to Dalby, which returns to the calendar after a one-year hiatus. Glentress makes a welcome return to the schedule for round 3, while round 4 takes place at a new venue to the calendar, Woody’s Bike Park in Fowey. The series will conclude at popular Staffordshire venue Cannock Chase, which hosted this year’s national championships.

Grant Ferguson (Hope Factory Racing) was victorious in this year’s men’s series, while Kerry Macphee secured the women’s series with victory in the final round at Thickthorn.

Thinking of giving XC racing a go? We’ll be checking out a bunch of race whips in spring. Look out for them appearing in Fresh Goods Friday soon!

I came to Singletrack having decided there must be more to life than meetings. I like all bikes, but especially unusual ones. More than bikes, I like what bikes do. I think that they link people and places; that cycling creates a connection between us and our environment; bikes create communities; deliver freedom; bring joy; and improve fitness. They're environmentally friendly and create friendly environments. I try to write about all these things in the hope that others might discover the joy of bikes too.
