The Novacross Cyclo-Cross event took advantage of the showground’s stunning surroundings, offering competitors an off-road riding experience with a short, winding multi-lap course over a mix of grassland and tarmac.
Cyclo-cross, which is like a cycling version of a steeplechase running race, is growing in popularity.
Grassroots events, such as the Novacross fixture, offer people of all ages and skill levels a great way to test their bike handling, endurance, and speed.
