ANNOUNCEMENT
As a result of the extended lockdown, WC XCO#3 will no longer take place at Slanghoek on 2 May 2020. We will do our utmost to find an alternative date for this event.
WC XCO#4 is scheduled for 30 May 2020 and while it has not been cancelled, it is unlikely to take place.
We are currently awaiting clarification on the expected relaxation of lockdown regulations before we can commit to any future dates. The WPMTBC is still committed to completing the WC XCO Series and we are also committed to hosting the WC and SA Championship races.
Please stay fit and motivated and most importantly, healthy! Hopefully we will be back to some form of new normal soon!

XCO Information:
Cross-Country (XC) cycling is the most common form of mountain biking. It is defined by the terrain on which it is performed. XC courses consist of a mix of rough forest paths, single-track, smooth fire roads and even paved paths connecting other trails. Within Cross-Country cycling there are some racing disciplines, such as XCE (Cross-Country Eliminator), XCO (Cross-Country Olympic), XCM (Cross-Country Marathon), Gravity Downhill and Enduro racing.
The Olympic Cross-Country (XCO) discipline of mountain bike racing consists of lap racing around a short circuit. It became an Olympic Sport in 1996 and requires high levels of mountain biking skills and high levels of fitness.
