Criterium Racing
Postby Parker » Sat Aug 18, 2012 9:07 pm
So where is the racing Crit racing in Perth? When does it start up again?
Are their women's grades or do we race with the men?
Cheers

Oh and I think it's split by grade and not by gender. There are many ladies who whip my butt on Saturday Shop rides and I guess I whip some other ladies butts. It depends where you are at I guess.

In Melbourne we have women's grades, plenty of the A grade women place highly amongst the A grade men when they choose to race that way.Tornado wrote:I'm not really in the know, but I would contact your local club. I know that Peel Districts do criteriums down here in Mandurah regularly. http://pdcc.asn.au/

I'm still trying to decide on a club

It is mixed sex graded racing AFAIK
Race calendars for Peel http://pdcc.asn.au/racing/events/ West Coast Masters http://www.wcmasterscycling.asn.au/cale ... lendar.htm (afraid you are too young)
Northern Districts is your closest club, but no idea of their calendar, their website is not the best or up to date, Fremantle-Melville next closest, same about calendar/website, Midland is a bit further, especially when their races are in the hills. Peel, bit of hike for you, but you can pop your bike on a train and then only have a short ride to most of their courses.
ps why wait for the Crit season, the road season is on now

My schedule is pretty full, criteriums will be perfect brick training (hard effort followed by a run of the bike for a few km's) and I actually like crits.

About 1/4 the people I race with are triathletes in "training", though most for a local half ironman coming up in a couple of months.Parker wrote:Road Racing? Primarily because I'm a triathlete training for Ironman and I've only got time for so much stuff at the moment

If you want generalise then that's a great statement to make, you got access to my coach and training program when?skull wrote:I would assume road racing would be better suited for IM training rather than a crit.

If you don't like hearing from other peoples posts on the net maybe cut back on the caffinated drinks and log off instead of getting overly sensitive.
Might be a good time to look up the srsly clip on you tube.
Funny bunch these triathletes

Northern Districts, Midland Cycling club and RCCC all have crits on during summer, but date are not released until the last minute.
But during summer you could say every 2nd week there is a crit on near Perth, Most of the time north Perth.
IF you are on Facebook , Like cycling WA, good info is posted there
To race these crits you will need a Cycling Australia Elite license
Also something from left field and if you can do early mornings ATTA have a great TT series in Kings Park during summer Tuesday Mornings with a female points comp.
Regards
Troy

I'm interested in seeing the Kings Park summer series just as a spectator (I don't feel like a 1/4 of a triathlete), I heard about it and saw riders filtering out around the city as I was getting to work last season.

In my grade races at Peel most weeks there are 3 to 6 members of the Rockingham Tri Club who use road races as part of the structured training for the Mandurah 70.3
I have had the triathlete training structure explained to me, but as a is cyclist (who can't swim due to shoulder injury) and committed to a single sport, I think I grasped the basics, but that is it.
IMHO it is part the social nature and part the competitive nature of road races that make then more "fun" training than solo rides on the TT bike. Even though you tempo does vary dramatically in a road race, compared to your typical triathlon and you don't need to leave anything for the run.
So looking for something to break the monotony of solo training rides and it fits your training structure, maybe check with your local tri club and see if anybody does similar "road race" training.

I'm not looking to break the monotony of solo training rides, I like them, I don't like road racing, I like criteriums because i raced crits before I started tri's and it's not bad threshold training and there's nothing wrong with doing a run after a crit.nickobec wrote:Hey Parker I should of been more specific.
