Racing

Racing — it’s what the best riders do best, and it’s what the rest of us just enjoy being a part of.

Club Racing

The Club organises racing throughout the year for all Club members. Held at Albert Bishop Park in Nundah, races take place approximately every fortnight on weekend mornings.

Depending on numbers, a variety of different race formats take place including scratch, handicap, sprint, points score and elimination. Visit Racing & Results for more information on each format, and don’t forget to check the Club calendar for our upcoming schedule.

These races are an exclusive member benefit, and unlike many other clubs that charge their members for racing, they are included in your membership fees.

And how fast do we all ride? A grade average about 45 km/h with the sprint finish around 60 km/h. B and C grades average about 40 km/h with a sprint finish about 45 to 50 km/h.

In addition to members only racing, each year the Club hosts a round of the Queensland Classic Road Series: The Charles Coin Memorial & Mardi Bartlett Classic.

Racing is open to all AusCycling members and takes place across a full range of categories, including Women’s, Elite Men’s, Masters, and Juniors, with distances varying from 54 to 126 kilometres.

Brisbane & Surrounds

Brisbane has a lively racing scene, including criterium races such as the weekly races at Murarrie Recreation Reserve and the fortnightly Ipswich Crit under lights.

There are also a range of multi-race series, such as the Sizzling Summer Series and the Hamilton Twilight Criterium Series.

Of course, don’t forget to plan your season around the rounds of the Queensland Classic Road Series, including the Charles Coin Memorial & Mardi Bartlett Classic.
