Below you can find “all you need to know” information regarding Single Speed Cyclo Cross European Championship 2018 Koksijde.
All 150 available spots are sold out, meaning that 150 people will receive a racenumber and a goodie bag.
On saturday there will be a few tents for shelter, plenty of beer (yes we’ll also serve soda and water). Koek & Zopie will provide fresh coffee.
Only the 150 lucky ones that got their hands on a racenumber will receive a T-shirt at the registration.
Registration opens friday march 2nd at 19:00 at café “El Dia” (Zeelaan 21, 8670 Koksijde).
Bar owner “Betty Boop” told us there is no curfew, however registration will close around 22:00 so that we can have some beers ourselves before we need to get out of bed pretty early to set up the last details on saturday.
On saturday march 3rd you will find arrows pointing you towards the event site from El Dia (crossing Houtsaegerlaan/Zeelaan), you can park wherever it is legal to park between El Dia and the event site (El Dia, showers, parking, event site,.. is al within 1 or 2 km). We will keep the actual location secret as long as possible since we need to share it with different groups during the weekend. We don’t want “racers” at the event site before saturday march 3rd 9:00.
Expect it to be muddy!

Since it is Cyclo Cross: only UCI legal tires and a dropbar if you want to be crowned European Champ. Everyone and every Single Speed bike is welcome to ride, but you need an actual Cyclo Cross bike to be able to win the jersey!
Expect it to be hard as Fuck!
Sunday march 4th we will guide those that are interested through the region on a GPX based group ride. There are plenty of parts to get lost, so please use a GPS as back up. It will not be easy to keep a big group together in this region! Prepare for some really fun sections with plenty of singletracks, sand and a snack/beer table somewhere along the way. The GPX file will be made available a few days before the event.
Start will be around 9:30 at El Dia. According to the group of people it will take 3-4 hrs to finish (you can drop out and loop back at multiple spots during the ride).
After the GPX ride we can only hope everyone had a blast and invite you to SSCX World Champs Belgium novembre 10th, hosted by our lovely friends of Single Speed Belgique.
As for the rules:
First and most important rule in Single Speeding: There are no rules!
Second rule: Our event, our rules!
Third rule: We will not force you to drink beer, however: in this case you will be forced to take the detour. No exceptions. If you don’t agree: Fuck Off!
Fourth rule: an official marshall is always right!
Fifth and final rule: fuck the rules and have fun!
UCI-legal Cyclo Cross bike!
