INFO ABOUT "CRABBEGAT" TIME TRIAL
🔴 PROVISIONAL START LIST IS OUT
We’ll be pleased to welcome 100 riders on Sunday 18 February 2024, thanks to the support from the City of Uccle and from Wallonie Bruxelles Cycling.
The exercise proposed by the Brussels Big Brackets consists in one climb, as fast as possible. It will be timed professionally and the winners get a state-of-the-art trophy in good-old flandrien style (two rankings, man/woman).
You might race with a road bike or a gravel bike, depending on what you feel comfortbale with on cobbles. Whatever your bike choice, you’ll get points in both general rankings (road / gravel) !

Do you have what it takes to get to the top?
Kids are also very much welcome to take part in the race!

- Start at 10:30
- There are no age restrictions
- No prior registration needed
- Parents are more than welcome to assist and push their kids gently up the hill (make sure you leave enough space for kids around you though!)

All kids will receive a small reward at the top. Come and have fun!
