Cyclocross Hawke's Bay first race of the series was held at Blackbarn Winery, Havelock North. Held in beautiful sunny conditions, with rainfall softening up the track on Friday night, the course designers noticed a hidden creek bed covered in grass. The top layer of grass was soon removed, and this is where the "Love Channel" was found. A 20 meter section of pure sweet mud. For the roadies in the field, there was no escaping it. And surprisingly enough this is where most of the spectators choose to stand also. With 90 riders in all grade’s, the Hawkes Bay Cyclocross scene looks to be growing from strength to strength.

The free kids event attracted 40 riders, from 2 year olds up to 12 year olds. This was a awesome turnout and all having great fun on their bikes.

A grade was lead from start to finish by Gary Hall who lapped all but Josh Page, in a storming ride. Angus Findlay rode well to gain 3rd place. Findlay a top Under 19 rider in NZ rate's Cyclocross as one of the most physically demanding sports. With young riders like Angus getting into Cyclocross, NZ could see a future star on the world Cyclocross scene. 

In the B race, Auckland rider ….  Made the trip worth his while leading from the gun. .. Looked to use his past Cyclocross experience and made the tricky course to work to his liking. Local rider’s Hayley Davis and Mirko Zatezalo, duelled it out until Davis put in the final attack and left Mirko in the mud.


Results A Grade:
1.Gary Hall
2. Josh Page
3. Angus Findlay

Results B Grade:
1. Alister Coomer
2. Hayley Davis
3. Mirko Zatezalo


Next up is the Specialized National Champs to be held in Taradale. There will also be a all-comers grade open to anyone wanting to try Cyclocross and any kind of bike can be ridden.



Cyclocross Hawke's Bay would like to thank Specialized for all there help and support for our events. It’s been ideal to have a leading brand like Specialized behind the series and keen to build the Cyclocross scene in New Zealand.

Cyclocross Training

Two training dates have been announced so to be prepared for the up coming CXHB series, NZ series  and National Champs you should make sure you do not miss these sessions.


20 May Sunday 9am EIT Carpark


3 June Sunday 9am Eit Carpark


Sessions will run for approx 2hrs including skills sessions, remount/dismount practice, race pace efforts, carrying methods etc.
We will have a set of callipers to measure your tyre width, you might be surprised with the outcome! Several CXHB riders have been checking their tyre widths recently and even though tyre manufactuerers spec at say 34mm actual calliper readings are well below the UCI legal width of 33mm.
