Hidden Valley CX 2026 - PMCX Series #3

About this race

Race Overview ‘CROSS IS BACK IN NEW HAVEN!! For the third year running, New Haven Bicycling Club and True Cyclery are bringing back the barnstorming good time that is HIDDEN VALLEY CX!

BIB PICKUP/REGISTRATION! Registration will be in the big pavilion and will open at 7:30 am. For anyone not already registered, day of registration will be available for $55, unless you're jumping in a second race for the day, then that is $20.

THIS IS A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO READ ALL PARKING SIGNS AND TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO NOT BLOCK ANY DRIVEWAYS OR H…
