Women's Racing

If there are insufficient entries for a given Women's grade (less than 10), they will be started with a Men's grade of similar ability or combined with another Women's grade - depending on turnout.


Junior Development

  • U11/U13 Are allowed entry to E Grade, but it is on the condition they are individually chaperoned by a non-participant. The accompanying parent/chaperone must be a current member of AusCycling.
  • Any junior riders who are working towards future racing can complete a chaperoned lap of the course from 1:30pm. This session is intended to help develop their skills around riding on the road and within a group.
  • Please organise a chaperone before race day.
  • Exceptions to the above need to be arranged with the club and commissaires prior to race day.
