The ABA follows UCI International rules when it comes to the type of bike you
can ride in a cross race. For Expert Men and Open Men/Women you will need a
cyclocross bike. For Novice Men and Sport Women categories you can use a
mountain bike. Please remove any unnecessary bells & whistles during the race.

CX Alberta
The CXAlberta Fund is aimed at Aspiring Junior and U23 cyclocross racers.
CXAlberta believes that offering young racers a little bit of financial support to
attend bigger and better races will increase your chance of success. The funding
will allow you to focus on training, not on working a part time job or canvassing
the neighbourhood trying to raise money.

There is an opportunity to support CXAlberta on zone4 during registration.
