The Scottish National Cyclocross Championships took place at Camperdown Park in Dundee this afternoon. DTCC fielded riders across many of the age groups and brought home several medals with three riders claiming the national title in their age group – DTCC riders took 1st place in the U14 girls, 1st and 3rd in the U16 girls and 1st Junior Woman.

The second round of the National Trophy Cyclocross series took place at Callendar Park . DTCC youth fielded 10 riders in the U14 and U16 events. Melanie and Olivia took first and second place in the U14 girls while Arabella placed second in the U16 girls. Two Deeside boys rode in the Race the Stars floodlight event which took place on Saturday evening.

DTCC youths were on fantastic form today at the Scottish Youth Crit Championships in Fife, with the girls taking the Scottish Jerseys in all three age categories (U16, U14 and U12) – an amazing achievement. Alongside other results from the day this meant that DTCC took 6 out of the 18 medals available in the day.

Event Overview

In 2019 the course had to be shortened on the day due to ice, this year we plan to use a course very similar to the full planned 2019 course.

Race categories and timings will be similar to the Scottish Championships the following weekend, so a chance for a trial run of race day. Advertised start times are not finalised, confirmed schedule will come in the race manual.
Parking will be in the field next to Knockburn, parking here overnight into Sunday will be possible but there will be no facilities.

U12 races will be run on a separate course to the main course. There is an option when entering to select U8/U10/U12 and boys/girls. The plan is to run separate races for these categories as much as time and helpers allow.

Helpers!

Reqired help on Saturday for Course build from 10AM.

Required help for marshalling, sign on and other roles during all or part of the Sunday 9am -4pm.

This is a great day to volunteer just to see this race in action!

please contact neil.d.scott@outlook.com to get your name down to help.
