NSW Crit Championships and other racing
Postby bigfriendlyvegan » Tue Oct 08, 2013 9:38 pm
Coinciding with two of Sydney’s largest cycling events, the Cycling Australia ‘Bike & Lifestyle Exhibition’ and the Bicycle NSW ‘Spring Cycle’, it’s your only chance of the year to race at one of Australia’s most historic sports venues against riders from all over NSW, and beyond.
Saturday’s racing takes the form of the 2013 NSW U19, U23 & Elite Criterium Championships, with separate U19 and Elite races for men and women.
Sunday’s racing is part of the 2013 Festival of Cycling and features A, B, C, D and E grade Open criteriums, plus NRS and Women’s races, as well as events for junior boys and girls. There will also be a hand cycling event.
Entries can be made online right now via the Cycling NSW website or on the day at Sydney Olympic park, Homebush.
For more information just follow the links:

Is this part of the Spring Cycle Challenge ride?
The crit for the challenge ride is at Homebush, also on the 20th of October that's why I ask.
I won a contest with c r c and the prize is free entry to the Spring Cycle, a chain reaction jersy, and "a goodies bag".
Thanks mate,
Cheers,
Darrin.

If you leave North Sydney early, you can very easily get to the racing before it starts. Use the Spring Cycle as a warm-up and then smash it over the cobbles at SOP.

The difference between the Classic ride and Challenge ride is the Classic is a 50k ride from Nth Sydney to Homebush. The challenge ride is the same, with a 50k crit at Homebush as well.
First 50ks will be just a warm up like you suggested.
Thanks for that,
Cheers,
Darrin.

Nice to meet you there Phil. The B and C grade racing was great. The A grade race only had 20 riders and it was a race of attrition with only 3 riders left in contention with many minutes to go. Very fast, lots of attacking, great to watch, but I preferred the B and C grade racing. At least there were smiles from the riders after the lower grades.Cossie Phil wrote:I went down for a look this morning! I've got to give this a crack one day soon...what a great morning and atmosphere. I saw B and C grades race, it would have been great to see A grade have a run but the little guy was becoming hard work! It was good to say a quick g'day to you BFV, great work on the microphone, kudos for keeping up with the leaders of each group!!
Get a license (with LACC, of course) and head out to a race. We're almost ready to start our track season - it's something you can bring your whole family to and you'll get several races per night. When your kids are old enough, they can join in as well.

You did well, Daniel, punching above your weight, both on Saturday and Sunday.You're not afraid to mix it with the best in the state, either on the road or the track. All that, and you're only a couple of years into racing! Well done.

It was a humbling experience to get so convincingly dropped. Not where I want to be at the moment. State champs on the track is the real goal and I still have a bit of time before that, hopefully I will come good.

Already sorted with the licence...and with LACC!! I had not considered track until recently and am pretty keen to give it a try. After Fitz's this weekend I will get back to normal group training at Homebush so will be ready for the track when it opens. Im really looking forward to it from a nostalgic perspective:)bigfriendlyvegan wrote:Nice to meet you there Phil. The B and C grade racing was great.

noob on the crit scene and i loved every second of stem munching that i did on the day. it was so well organised and received much love from the guys watching and the announcer (BFV) even though i got dropped and then lapped by the higher grade!
If anyone else saw the racing and didn't mind some of that i would highly recommend it.
