Coyote CX

Coyote CX kicks off cyclocross season a little earlier than most, running three Sundays in August while the rest of the CX calendar is still gearing up. That means dustier, drier conditions than the mud-soaked classics later in fall — a different technical challenge, but still barriers, tight turns, and off-camber sections to navigate at speed.

It’s a good entry point if you’re new to cyclocross racing; the early-season field tends to be a mix of racers shaking off rust and newcomers testing the format for the first time.
