RIDERS have been cycling their way to the finish line for this year’s Summer Cyclocross events.
Sprockets Cycle Club, in Wokingham, has hosted three short bike riding events at Dinton Pastures Country Park this month, with the final race on Wednesday, June 30.
Open to all ages, organiser Lloyd Watkins described the events as “amazingly successful” as they welcomed many first time riders.
Head coach and event organiser Lloyd Watkins said: “We knew that lockdown had increased the number of people riding bikes, and we wanted to put something on to introduce them to cycling as a sport.
“It takes quite a bit of effort from our wonderful and unpaid volunteers, but seeing so many first time riders is an absolute thrill.”
Jim Charlesworth, an entrant in the V40 Men’s race said it was a “fantastic” event.
He added: “It was exactly what cross should be in terms of getting people involved, a fun course, nice venue, family atmosphere, fast and easy course and inclusive.”
