Sanctuary Summer Series - Twilight Criterium Events for Women



Event Format

The events will be a mentoring session for new racers followed by two graded handicap criteriums, with two grades on the circuit at once. The faster grade will start after a suitable time gap, with the aim of catching the slower grade.

Grades are limited to 15 entrants per grade

This is a team event, with riders in teams of three. Team members can enter any combination of grades. Participation points from all three team members will go towards the overall total, with additional points awarded to the top 5 finishers in each criterium event.

All teams need to register to be eligible to collect points for the Sanctuary Summer Series Teams Prize.

Registered teams will be given early access to event entry. Each team member will need to enter each event.

Individuals without a team will only be able to enter after the team early access period has expired, when entries will go public. There is a wait list if we hit capacity (60 riders).

Registrations for mentoring only, creche, and volunteers will be per round also.

Team kit is preferred but not required, however riders from any given team are requested to wear similar colours (e.g. black jerseys).

  • What if I can't do all 3 races? The team can substitute a rider for that event
  • I don't have a team but I want to join in the series? Individual entries will be possible IF there is capacity after teams have entered. Some teams may also need fill-in riders, so keep an eye on the socials.

Free Mentoring Sessions

Before the start of the events, 4Five+ Athlete Collective will be offering free mentoring sessions.

Everyone is welcome to join in these sessions, especially those new to criteriums. There will be plenty of opportunity for Q&A and women experienced in criterium racing will take you through some criterium skills in a non-competitive setting. This is an opportunity to build your confidence while riding on a criterium circuit.

You can join this session only, but all entrants must have an AusCycling licence. Entries are strictly limited to 15 participants.


Little Critters

This is a fun session for the kids, involving chaperoned laps around the circuit for all budding cyclists. Anyone can join in on any bike, but you need a helmet. An AusCycling license is required for this event.


Creche

A creche service will be provided free of charge, sponsored by Dome Westralia Plaza. Numbers are strictly limited and bookings per event are essential.
