The racing would be suitable for pretty much any one in our club that races, and is really amazingly relaxed! i recomend that all our juniors consider it, as its a pretty flat course (at the moment, they have a choice of courses) and the riders were all really nice! This week the fast lads including Tirian McManus, Josh cornish, Jarrod Triggs etc werent there so A grade was more up in the air for a winner which probably isnt normally the case, but yeah besides that id say every one else should check it out! great getting into racing spot!
The grades are probably equivillant to lower grades else where, Normally c would be B or A, and normally B or above would definately be A grade. Paul Meehan was in A grade, and putting in regular attacks.
Club Racing
The Southern Cross Cycle Club races almost every Sunday morning of the year at Waratah Park, Rawson Avenue, Sutherland.
We race on a road racing circuit closed to traffic, that provides a safe racing environment for riders and spectators.
The Club’s focus is on promoting junior racing, but we welcome members of all ages.
The Club places a strong emphasis on junior development and provides opportunities for all junior members to develop their cycling skills.
The majority of junior racing is graded by ability, giving newcomers the opportunity to race at their development and skill level.
The racing is well organised and non-agressive. The distances are set to suit age and skill and are not difficult. Everyone is encouraged to finish.
Cycling is a nondiscriminatory sport with boys, girls, men and women able to compete on the same day at the same venue.
