AnnA Nicolas -"I’m determined to keep Pete’s vibrant spirit alive! In his honour, I’ll be riding from Airlie Beach to Port Douglas in May 2025 to raise as much money as possible for cancer research. Pete was my best friend, an avid cyclist, my partner, and a truly beautiful person. Tragically, he lost his battle with cancer in November 2022, just 11 days after our son’s first birthday. He fought with incredible courage."

See the display of vintage bikes while track bikes race. Swap/sell meet also available!

Format

Dave will come up with something special for the old bikes! . Racing will usually be:

• A long endurance race of 40-80 laps (e.g. points, timed criterium etc)

• A shorter race of 4-30 laps that tests riders' skill sets and focuses on upcoming track events (e.g. Win and out, handicaps, team sprints/pursuits, longest lap, Italian pursuits)

• A moderate length endurance race of 30-60 laps (e.g. scratch, extended elimination, team elimination, tempo)

Grading

We aim to give all riders who can ride safely a chance to race on their steel framed bikes.

This means grading will be dependent on ability level rather than age and you may be racing with someone much older or younger than you.

We will begin with grading A through to D grade depending on numbers and we will make appropriate race formatting arrangements as required.
