Call for assistance!

The Ross Bush Memorial handicap is the largest event on the Geelong Cycling Club calendar. As a result it requires a large number of volunteers to run the event to ensure the safety of all involved. In light of this the committee of the GCC is calling on people to volunteer to assist on the day. If you are competing but can assist in setting up before the race that would be appreciated. If you can't compete please put your hand up to help. Asking friends, family anyone you can call on to lend a hand will go along way to making this a successful event.

If you or someone you know can help on the day please let Daniel Wilson ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) know. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The next event in the Cycling calender for Geelong Cycling Club is the Colac Cycling Club Invitation.

This is an annual race to which other clubs, including GCC are invited to attend.

The Geelong Cycling Club Road Committee regrets to inform the membership that this weekends handicap race at Staughton Vale has been canceled as we weren't able to secure a racing permit in time. The permit application has been ongoing for 4 months and we were only just informed Tuesday afternoon that this was the case. Unfortunately the failure to secure a permit in time is due to factors beyond our control. We hope that you understand the committees frustration at this turn of events and will continue to support our endevours to put on quality and enjoyable racing on a number of different courses.

As it is very short notice we aren't able to reschedule another event in time. We apologies for this inconvenience and regret the hole it has left in the winter calendar.
