Well it’s been a very long long long time coming but we are finally off and running.  The new revised summer series is now set to start with crits at Deakin Uni. 

Obviously this has taken a long time to organise and get off the ground and I would like to thank the Uni for helping out the Geelong Cycling Club.  This is a great opportunity for us to race on a closed circuit week in week out until our winter season commences. 

The dates for the series are as follows :

February

• Sunday 1st
• Sunday 8th  
• Saturday 14th
• Sunday 22nd

March

• Sunday 1st
• Sunday 8th
• Sunday 22nd
• Saturday 29th 

We will be racing over a very challenging 1.5km circuit which will guarantee hard racing.  The circuit is as follows :

Race entry will be $10.00.  No $100 and $50 dollars notes or silver coins will be accepted for entries (no exceptions).

Initially, fields will be limited to 30 each grade.  We are doing this to ensure safety on this circuit.  Given that we are doing this on a new circuit we want to ensure everything flows the way we have planned.  This limitation may be reviewed after the first few races.   

We only have the Uni for 3 hours which as a result will only allow us to run 3 grades of racing. 

• C Grade with start at 9:30 and run for 45 mins plus 2 laps
• B Grade will start at 10:30 and run for 50 mins plus 2 laps
• A Grade will start at 11:30 and run for 55 mins plus 2 laps

We will endeavour to make the racing as even as possible, if you are unsure of where you fit in, contact the club via the website and leave your contact details so we can call you back. 

There have been some rules set up to ensure we use the facility kindly donated to us properly.  I suggest everyone makes themselves familiar with these.  Failure to adhere to the rules will result in penalties.

The University is public land and also has specific parking requirements.  Failure to adhere to these parking requirements WILL result in parking infringement notices being handed out.  Cars will not be able to be parked on the immediate race circuit at any time. Car parks are located at various places around the Uni so we suggest you make yourselves familiar with these on your arrival if you are driving. 

We suggest you all make yourselves familiar with the following rules and regulations.  Failure to adhere to these may result in you not being able to race.
