About EvoDevo Cycling CIC
EvoDevo Cycling CIC is a not-for-profit community interest company dedicated to supporting young British cyclocross riders. We aim to give our future talent the opportunity to develop and learn by allowing them to experience high-level racing during well-managed trips abroad led by highly experienced cyclocross riders. To foster a passion for cyclocross, we will also deliver coaching events for the wider community and provide guidance and resources for aspiring young racers and their supporters.
Advice Hub
Racing abroad can be a daunting prospect, but it's a challenge that aspiring riders may well want to take on given the popularity of the sport on the European continent. Parents in particular can feel under huge pressure to get the best experience for their child in a completely unfamiliar environment.
Even if riders aren't selected for personal support from EvoDevo, we'll make resources available here to help you know how to enter, how to prepare and what to expect.
