Cross Country

Motorcycle Cross Country is a speed event with a difference; it is a race against the clock. The object being, to cover the greatest distance in a given time. Events are usually two or three hours long and are held on farmland or in forestry.

Events are started “Le Mans’ style with a shot gun and pit crews can be used for refueling.
At the end of the given time the chequered flag is put out regardless of where the lead rider is and riders are credited with completed laps. To be a finisher, you must complete one lap.

Although Cross Country is a speed event, it is a very good progression from trail riding, as it allows riders to travel at a rate they are comfortable with and still achieve a result. For the more competitive riders it is a race.
