All the dates will be on our Calendar page.
As soon as the entry links to the event get added to the British Cycling website we will copy them across to make it easy for you.
SWXC Dates
All the SWXC dates for 2025.
SWXC = South West Cross Country. (MTB)
XCM = Cross Country Marathon (longer time than normal)
XCO = Cross Country Olympic (normal amount of race time)
XCC = Cross Country Short Track (Shorter course and time)
Time Trial Dates 2025
Not only have we got the date for the first Time Trail (TT) of 2025 but we also have TT road bike league dates.
What's this TT/road bike thing all about?
Well, you can enter a TT on a special TT bike with aero bars and, you know, the whole fancy go faster helmet. Or you can just turn up on your normal road bike. Clearly you will (should) go faster on a fancy aero bike so these get put in a separate category. When you turn up on your normal road bike you are only "racing" other road bikes.
TT are "raced" by yourself on public roads, normally early on a Sunday morning so the roads are less busy. Racers get set off at one minute intervals, so you are by yourself on the open road. Young riders are allowed to have a chaperone riding behind them.
The aim of a TT is to get the fastest time, either to win or just to be better than you did last time.
Never has it been so easy to get involved with TT in Cornwall. For the road bike league Kernow Racing Team (KRT) are covering the cost of CTT, the governing body of TT's, fees. Making the road bike league even better value.
Like Wheal Velocity, KRT are passionate about getting youngsters into riding bikes. For 2025 KRT are offering free entry to their events (not national or ladies event) for young riders, under 18's.
If TT is your thing of you fancy giving it a go then keep an eye on the KRT Facebook for further information and booking details.
If you want to take advantage of the U18's free entry you must get in touch with KRT before the closing date of online entry.
Did you scan read that?
Here are the absolute basics for entering a TT,
1. You must enter online via the CTT website, entre closes about about a week before the event. (unless you are under 18, than contact KRT as its free!!)
2. You must be 12 or over to enter, you can have a "support" rider following you if you so wish. This is common for younger riders who are worried about being on the road.
3. You can enter on any bike, not electric. Yes I have seen people TT on a mountain bike and why not, you are only racing the clock.
4. Most important one last. You must turn up at your start time with working front and rear lights. Even in the middle of the day, this is a hard rule set by CTT.
Cornish TT Dates
All the race dates for Cornish Time Trials.
TT = Time Trial
Most if not all of these events will have both a "road bike" category and a "Time Trial Bike" category. So you don't need to have a fancy bike with aero bars to give it a go. A normal road bike will be just fine.
For Kids the minimum age to take part is 12 years and over.
Good news. For all Kernow Racing Team events under 18's will get free entry in 2025!!! Note, will probably not include national champs.
