THE BACKSTORY
Who is the Louisville 'Cross Collective?
🎶 After all, it was you and me 🎶
We are you! We are not an exclusive team - we're a collective group of Louisville-based cyclocross racers and enthusiasts, open to 'cross fans and racers of any experience level and desire to race.
We're here to support each other and create a thriving community for 'cross racing, a venue to do it at, and races that go off every year.
The LCC idea was founded by Ben Wilson and Abner Miralda in late 2023, and quickly joined by many other Louisville 'cross racers - some old, some new - all in love with 'cross. We're waiting for you!

No worries! Welcome to our TED talk... 🤣
Our Vision
Foster Louisville’s current and future cyclocross and gravel bicycle racing legacy
A non-profit collective of bike riders and racers focused on uniting, maintaining, and growing a drop-bar dirt bicycle racing scene in and around Louisville, Kentucky.
Who are we?
Any rider, any local cycling club, any member of established racing teams, and any interested businesses from Louisville and the surrounding region.
The Collective could be seen as a “team” or “club”, but membership is not exclusive and you do not have to race to be a part of the mission. You only have to join!
Our Values
Inclusive + Supportive
Collaborative + Transparent
Active + Sustainable
Uniquely representative of the greater Louisville-metro area
“I want someone to cheer for me,
and I want someone to cheer for at ‘cross races”
