Round 2 of the East Kent Cyclocross (EKCX) Series delivered everything we love about British Cyclocross – mud, chaos, and pure grit! Set against the backdrop of the Duke of York’s Royal Military School in Dover, this course has quickly become a rider favourite, combining fast, flowing grass sections with tricky off-camber turns and the infamous new uphill boards. From juniors to masters, every race was packed with drama, crashes, and classic winter racing vibes.
What started as a bright, crisp morning quickly turned into a battle against the elements as the rain rolled in just in time for the Masters 50/60 race – transforming the course into a slick, unpredictable mud-fest. If you love watching riders test their limits, sliding, sprinting, and suffering through the best Cyclocross conditions the UK can offer, this video is for you.
Featuring on-board footage from Chris Lord’s half-lap and stunning race highlights from across the categories, this is EKCX at its gritty best.
