Phil leads a training ride every Saturday, departing at 6.30am from Waratah Park, Sutherland.  The ride travels south towards Sublime Point and return.  Depending on the time you have available and your energy levels, you can also turn back at Waterfall or Helensburgh.  Riding will be on public roads and suitable for experienced riders only.  Children must be accompanied by a parent.

The Blayney to Bathurst weekend has developed into a "must do' on the Southern Cross Cycling Club calendar and this year's event has ensured that it will continue into the future.  Over 20 club members participated in a variety of events including the Saturday hill climbs and criterion races and the Sunday Blayney to Bathurst 100km long course and 70km short course rides.  Our junior juniors (with mums as domestiques) participated in the 20km family fun ride.

A great carb feast was dished up on the Saturday night.  Thank you to all the organisers.

Make sure you participate every week and earn championship points

The road race season has commenced and racers will earn points towards the Southern Cross 2010 Championships.  The championship is structured to encourage all racers to particpate every Sunday morning, earning points for participation on Normal Race Days. On Point Score Race Days bonus points are awarded to the first five placings of each race.  For a more detailed description of the point score allocations click here.

The championship culminates in a Southern Cross trophy bonanza at the club Christmas party and presentation night.  So kids, make sure you participate every week and earn championship points. Go to the Gallery for more photos of the 2009 Christmas party and presentation night.

2010 has seen a significant increase in the number of racers lining up on Sunday mornings at Waratah Park.  Masters racing has almost tripled thanks to an new early start time of 8am. The competition in all Masters grades has noticably improved and this is expected to continue especially on the days prize money is on offer.   

Junior racing numbers have also increased by 50% thanks to the continued support from the Eastern Suburbs Cycling Club.  It's great to see your enthusiasm every week.  I hope you enjoy the racing as much as we enjoy hosting it!
