That’s a wrap, folks! Lambs are frolicking in the fields. Wellington’s weather system is turning to something more unpredictable than a Trump administration. Spring must be here.

With a changing of the seasons, we bid adieu to Huttcross 2018. The new Huttcross Veldrijden Crew dished up a bumper series this year with bigger numbers than ever before and new converts aplenty. Winter fun certainly need not be limited to the snow sports kidz.

Big ups to everyone who rode a lap (or ten), rang a cowbell, flew a flag, dished out a heckle or a handup, encouraged a friend to give it a go, or generally just promulgated the cyclocross stoke.

We look forward to seeing Stephen Woodwark’s Custom frame by Crucial Custom Cycles and Ryan Gardner’s bling Wheelworks hoops at Huttcross 2019.

#crossisgone…. or is it?

CowbellCross has a summer fix for your fever scheduled 16th December 2019 at Karapoti Park. In the meantime, we look forward to seeing you out on the trails or following your gravel adventures this summer.
