Ballarat Cycling Carnival

6/11/2017

We are excited to announce that Ballarat will play host to the inaugural Ballarat Cycling Carnival on 1st January 2018. We’re also thrilled to have the Amy Gillett Foundation on board as a major partner for the event. The carnival fills an important gap in the calendar due to the absence of the Bay Crits. Word from peloton is that many cyclists are looking for a race to help prepare themselves for the Road Nationals that begin here on January 3rd.
The Ballarat Cycling Carnival will take place at our criterium circuit in Victoria Park from 12 noon until 8:30pm. It will not only include racing for the elite but for all ages and abilities. Thanks to the generosity of Freight Bar and The Western Hotel there will be a fully catered trackside village with onsite DJ. Ex pro cyclist and BSCC member Pat Shaw is also locked in to do the commentary.
Here is a link to the website for info and entries: www.ballaratcyclingcarnival.com
This could be the start of something big and ongoing but it is going to require a big team effort. Please help us spread the word about this event by sharing the attached flyer or sharing our online posts when you see them on social media.

Crit Circuit Resurfacing

1/7/2017

On the back of a thorough feasibility study and many voluntary hours behind the scenes, our entire criterium circuit in Victoria Park has been resurfaced in a smooth hot mix asphalt. We are pleased that Council have listened to our requests for a safe cycling circuit by upgrading our existing one to an excellent standard. We will continue working with Council on other cycling facility ambitions such as men's and women's change rooms and toilets, road bollards, drinking taps and perhaps even lighting. Stay tuned as we keep you updated. In the meantime, enjoy riding on Ballarat's smoothest surface!

New Crit Track Update

11/3/2017

As you're probably aware, our growing club is desperate for a new and dedicated criterium circuit with change room and toilet facilities. Fortunately, we were given funding to explore the issue and a feasibility study was then conducted. Please click here to find the results of the study which have since been adopted by the club.

For the time being, we are committed to using the existing track at Victoria Park until we get a new one. Council will continue to maintain the track to a safe standard.

We are now moving ahead with the study's recommendation and taking a proactive advocacy role, seeking council support for a major new facility. Already, our project team; Shannon Meadows, Tim and Peter Canny are meeting with senior executives at Council and initial feedback is very positive. We will keep you aware of the progress of this exciting project.
