The CCC Cart’s Christmas Crits is not only a fantastic night for racing but also a great opportunity for friends, family and club mates to get together. So bring a picnic blanket and a few drinks and celebrate a fantastic year with us at the biggest night of racing in Canberra!

We're going to make a night of it. We've arranged:

• Double points and extra prizemoney thanks to CDC Data Centres
• A lucky draw thanks to Winning Position Bike Fitting
• A surprise visit from Santa
• A Christmas Wheel Race
• Lollies for the kids
• Christmas pudding for grade winners
• A BBQ ($2.50 sausages, $1.50 softies)

Thanks to our supporters

Mark Carter

The Cart's Annual Christmas Crit is named memory of the late Mark Carter. For those not familiar with Mark, he was an indispensable member of the Canberra Cycling Club and a fantastic and friendly guy. He was well known for his love of cycling, and as recipient of the nickname ‘big-legged driver’, he relished the fast and exciting racing the summer crits had to offer. As a former President and Treasurer of the Canberra Cycling Club, Mark spent a lot of his spare time raising the profile of cycling in the ACT, as well as establishing and running the Summer Criterium series. Mark’s love for the criterium racing scene in Canberra saw the popularity of the Summer Series flourish due to his hard work and famous race reports.

Every Christmas Crit we ride in his honour.
