Frequently Asked Questions About Cycling and the Illawarra Cycle Club

Marshals For Week of:
04 Jul 2009

Illawarra Cycle Club - Home of Cycle Racing in the Illawarra

Illawarra Cylce ClubThe Illawarra Cycle Club is located in Wollongong on the South Coast of New South Wales Australia. The Club holds Road Cycle Race meetings almost every week of the year. During the Summer, Velodrome Racing is also promoted at the Unanderra Velodrome on the Princes Highway.

The Club is for participants for all levels. There is no need to be Robbie McEwen or Cadel Evans on the first day you come out to the Club. We have 4 Grades ranging from those that are there to compete and attain the highest level in the sport, to those that are out for some fitness and enjoy the social aspect of the day.

 

Illawarra Cycle Club - Track & Road RacingAll the members of the Club will welcome new riders and assist new members with various aspects of racing whether it be on the Velodrome at Unanderra or out on the Road course at West Dapto (Avondale Rd). Several riders have ridden at international level and have much advice and experience to pass on to those aspiring to dothe same and to those that want to be able to ride better at Club level.

So if you have a bike, enjoy riding it, enjoy talking to people, and perhaps would like to try a little competition in a friendly environment, come along and join in the fun.

2009 Goulburn Junior Tour

Eleven ICC Juniors from U11 to U17 participated in the Goulburn Junior Tour over the weekend 30-31 May 2009.

The fresh biting breeze, cold temperature and occasional brief rain shower did not dampen the event, but made conditions tough, especially for the two time trial stages.

2009 Ride of Silence - Ben Mikic Foundation

This year the Ride of Silence will be run as a bunch ride starting at Bowral Swimming Pool and finishing at the Corbett Plaza coffee shops. Riders should start gathering at the Pool at 7.30 am and the ride will commence at 8.00 am. The route will be the same as last year i.e. along Bong Bong Street, Moss Vale Road, turning right at the Illawarra Highway and Argyle Street roundabout in Moss Vale; thence along Suttor Road back onto Moss Vale Road, finishing at Corbett Plaza in Bowral; and for those not up to speed with normal bunch riding the pace will be relatively slow. It should be noted that riders taking part in this event do so at their own risk.
