Northern Beaches Cycling Club hosts racing at Australia’s best bespoke criterium circuit, Splendid Park, Yanchep. The Freeway and PSP have been extended to Romeo Rd, making it even quicker to get to. We’ve added some optional extra events for the juniors at no extra cost. That’s 3 races for the price of one (1 lap ITT, a points race, and a criterium race). If the trial goes well, we can offer it up to adults in our next event. Please help us by purchasing your own MyLaps transponder in enough time for it to be posted and registered before race day. (Forward your details to us pre-race day please).

Volunteer/family discounts apply. if you or your support crew can volunteer 2-3 hours (indicate time) either helping to marshal a road crossing, registration desk support or Commissaire support. If you have 2 or more children, we also have family discounts. Email Chris Howard at northernbeachescycling@gmail.com, phone or text on 0421083688,

Junior Restrictions
NBCC supports the development of junior athletes and provides racing opportunities for all ages and abilities, subject to the AusCycling and NBCC published policies for Junior riders, including equipment restrictions:
AusCycling Policy – click here
*Juniors A & B are provided with a feature criterium race. In addition NBCC is adding an optional points event to add some fun and experience. This is novel and experimental. Help us by, prior to race day, ensuring your child’s bike is restricted for their age category and they have an approved and undamaged helmet. (With notice, NBCC can provide new helmets of medium size and road bikes from XS to Large). Bike lockouts and helmet checks may not be completed until after the initial novelty events have been completed but your child will be disqualified from points and podium if tech regulations have not been followed. NBCC also reserves the right to disqualify riders from future events if it is apparent a rider’s gears have been unrestricted during any event.
