Cyclocross History

Cyclocross racing is a unique sport. Many have never heard of it. Its origins began in Europe in the early 1900’s. It started as road racers would race each other from town to town and would cut through farmer's fields, over fences or take any other shortcuts in order to make it to the town first. This eventually became an official sport and spread its way throughout Europe. Making its way to the U.S., Cyclocross has now become quite popular with regular competitions in Berkeley and Santa Cruz, CA and Portland, OR.
