Hi all DHBC racers,
It is time for another club criterium! It's been a while and the time has come to get together for some club fun and races those bikes. This event will be special we are attempting to get up and running a DHBC National Road Series team next year and this event will be used to raise much needed funds for a licence.
All club members with a racing licence are welcome and the more that come the more grades we will be able to create making it fairer for everybody! It is also time to create a new lap record so we will be running a one lap screamer! SO come along have some fun enjoy some relaxed racing and help the club support young up and coming racers progress to the next level!
Criterium: Sunday 2/12/2012
Location: Dunc Gray Criterium circuit
Start time: 7:30am- 8am
Expected finish time: 8:30am-9:30am
Cost: $10 entry ($5 for racing & $5 donation towards NRS team which if you are broke do not need to pay)

The plan is that everybody meet at Marrickville Rd Cafe at 6:30am as usual & ride out together race & ride back.

Its a short course, and very fast, and quite varied. Much harder than Heffron Park. The ride out and back is also quite a good one, and fun to do in a big bunch. Those wanting to have a different ride, but not yet with a racing licence, would be welcome to ride out and back and watch the crit.

G'day Derek. I've looked into one day licences before and they have proven to cost more than what they are worth unless for very big events the price comes down. Last time I checked they were around $40. Probably what Geoff suggests is best ride out and have a look or head out to heffron park & check out what Crit racing is all about. Unfortunately with the dangers there is no 'try before you buy.'Hi Simon,
I love the idea, is it possible to get a day license?
Thanks,
How can it be dangerous Derek ......with me smiling like that. Dive in, get a race licence, you will get fit before you know it.G'day Derek.

Hi Marc.
The way I've ridden out to DG previously with The Club is Mville rd, New Canterbury rd, cut across to Milton st then along Georges River rd.
As far as I'm awhere the route hasn't changed.
A past jump on point has been the cnr of Milton & Georges River rd.
Cheers,
Mark

Bugger. Waited for 20mins on cantebury road with no sign of riders. Checked the forum, a couple of drops appeared and went home.
We don't need a rain dance to get rain, just schedule a DHBC crit and we are guaranteed it!

Andrew B, JohnJ and I waited at the cnr of Georges River Rd and Milton St, Ashfield until 7pm. Then Andrew checked the DHBC website and said it was cancelled.
Ironically, it is now 7:19am and I believe the dizzle has stopped.

It was a difficult decision, with the weather just hanging around in a borderline state. The radar was showing a reasonable area of rain, so we decided to call it, taking into consideration safety on a wet track (especially on the tight bottom corners).

Sorry everybody we had to cancel yesterday. Dunc Crit circuit is very dangerous in the rain. I am looking at good dates to re-schedule. might be just before Christmas or early January.
