MTB & ‘Cross

At Velo Allegro, the majority of our members ride the road, but we have a growing number of enthusiasts who love the dirt.

Our dirt get-together’s are usually reserved for Saturday mornings. Please refer to our ride calendar for posted rides.

Cyclocross (a.k.a. Cross or CX) is a growing passion within our club, as well. We do have some pre-season ‘cross training for club members and will post (see here and the ride calendar) as they come up. Once the cross season starts, we pretty much hit the Sunday cross races – check out the cyclocross race schedule from SoCalCross.org.
