Women’s Intro to CX | Coaching Sessions

Fancy giving cyclo-cross a go?

We’re running three coaching sessions to help you learn the basics, build confidence and get ready to hit the CX course.

We’ll cover:
• Mounting and dismounting
• Cornering
• Riding roots and uneven ground
• Bike handling on grass
• Plus plenty of time for questions and a CX Q&A

The sessions are suitable for MTB, gravel and cyclo-cross bikes.

Sessions:
Wednesday 16 September | 6.30pm | Craigavon
Tuesday 22 September | 6.30pm | Orangefield, Belfast
Saturday 26 September | 11am | Ecclesville Centre, Fintona

Whether you’re completely new to CX or looking to brush up on your skills, come along and give it a go.

What an incredible opening day for the Cycling Ulster team in Kilkenny.

Erin Creighton delivered a stellar performance to finish 3rd overall and claim the Green Jersey as the top Irish rider and 3rd in the Young Rider Classification.

The Best Irish Rider classification is filled by Erin, Gabrielle, Aine and Aliyah in spots 1-4.

Gabrielle Fox fought hard and secured a fantastic 7th place finish, placing two of our riders right in the top 10.

Aliyah Rafferty climbed hard for 3 valuable points in the Queen of the Mountains classification.

Thanks to an outstanding team effort across the board, Cycling Ulster sits in 2nd position overall in the Team Classification.

The perfect finish to the Women's Time Trial League.

A huge congratulations to the women who completed three or more rounds of this year’s league.

Thank you to every woman who registered, came along and gave time trialling a go. Whether you completed one round or raced them all, you helped make this league a 2026 success.

The Cycling Ulster Women’s Commission can only run initiatives like this with the support of the women who get involved.

Your enthusiasm, encouragement and willingness to try something new makes these events possible.

The support we receive shows just how important it is to raise the profile of all cycling disciplines and create more opportunities for women to take part.

It was brilliant to finish the league alongside the Ulster Championships, giving everyone one final chance to get out on their bike and race for an Ulster title.
And, of course, we had to finish things off with a little glass of Nosecco to celebrate.

Thank you to everyone who has supported the league, taken part, encouraged a friend to come along or simply helped create a great atmosphere at the events.
Bring on TT 2027.

Well done to everyone who headed to the Ulster 10mile TT Championships last night.

It was a little miserable but you all brought the smiles👏👏

Hush Fest looked like a pile of fun.
