WMCCL Bursary

The WMCCL endeavors to provide financial support to a selection of its younger members each year. Our aim each year is to provide promising riders, who have regularly ridden the League, with funding to help them develop as cyclocross riders by riding internationally. The application process for the 2025/26 season is now complete. Awards were made to the following riders:

• Zoe Parker U23
• Isaac Vickery U16
• Jude White U16
• Noah White U18
• Rebecca Woodvine U23

Th 2026/27 Bursary will be launched in October. Please watch out for an announcement about that on this website.
