In Our Group with Bundaberg Cycling Club
The Bundaberg Cycling Club hosts training, open track and racing sessions with members encouraging the community to get involved.
Tell us about the Bundaberg Cycling Club?
The Bundaberg Cycling Club's home is the Kevin Brogden Memorial Velodrome in Bundaberg West.
This is where the club, run completely by volunteers, hosts training, open track sessions and track racing on Thursday evenings throughout spring and summer.
In autumn and winter we switch gears to road racing where we host road races and criterium races at various locations throughout the region on Saturday afternoons.
Our home track still gets utilised during this time for junior training, open track sessions and 100 laps sessions.
Who can join the club?
The group is open to anyone who holds or signs up for an AUScycling membership.
We have junior members as young as 5 years old all the way through to masters who are 70 years and above.
People can get involved by contacting the club through Facebook or email.
We have track bikes we hire out for newcomers to give the sport a try without the expense of purchasing a bike.
What events do you hold during the year?
We host the Bundaberg Cycling Spectacular each year.
This is a track racing event for juniors through to masters that is very well received throughout the cycling community.
We have competitors travel from all over Australia and occasionally some from overseas to partake in this event.
This year there will be two action-packed sessions on Friday 24 and Saturday 25 November.
We are also fortunate this year to host the Queensland Masters Criterium on Sunday 26 November following the spectacular.
The Bundaberg Cycling Spectacular is the major fundraising event for the club.
We are always looking to form new partnerships with local businesses and anyone wanting to get involved can contact us through the Bundaberg Cycling Spectacular Facebook page.
