The club is working towards creating a public online presentation of the club’s memorabilia on the Victorian Collections website. The recent local Government announcement of new Club rooms to be built for the Geelong Cycling Club adjacent to the crit track on Belmont Common was greeted with great enthusiasm.  Thanks must go to those who spent a great deal of time on putting a submission together which has resulted in this terrific outcome.  We will soon have a wonderful facility as ‘home’ to the many activities which the GCC run through the year.  It will also be a great location to display and house the large collection of memorabilia which the club has accumulated since its inception.  These items are […]

Lincoln Stolz has found the secret to the success of winning an aggregate taking out the summer series to with his past winter aggregate win. New members, Daniel Cavell & Sam Aulsebrook finishing second and third respectively. Prize money is paid to all riders in the top ten. Final results

Adrian Copeland (2nd), Mark Fagg (1st), Simon Harrington (3rd) Shantelle Maurer (2nd), Emma Scott (1st), Tina Stenos (3rd)   On Saturday the 1st of March a great summer series of racing culminated in the running of the Club Criterium Championship at the Belmont Criterium Track. Fantastic support from all members across all events ensured there was some great racing. The support race including U19’s kicked things off; all riders willing to share the pace-making duties saw the bunch stay together. There was plenty of encouragement and advice from the spectators watching in the closing stages of the race. In the end it was new member, Richard Hill who crossed the line a clear winner. Richard even had time to raise […]

GCC is now a member of Bikesafe Geelong, now in it’s third year having been founded by Mr Barton VanLaar of Wallington in response to cyclist deaths in our region.

Round 2 of the “apparently” Summer Series headed to Eastern Gardens. Other than everyone talking about the weather, people were asking where have all the B graders gone. May be the fickle weather kept a few away? Let’s hope we start to see the good numbers of a few months back again. The juniors were again the stars of the show with big numbers not afraid to tackle the damp roads. We welcomed yet another new member to the racing ranks, a now weekly occurrence. All credit to Danni Bridger for creating a fantastic environment for all the kids. The senior ranks have seen a number of new riders. All seem to be enjoying their new racing experience. In D grade John […]

Since the start of 2012 the GCC has been using its MyLaps timing system to run, time and place all riders who race with us. The data base of results on the web site continues to grow giving us a history of results for every rider who has raced. This timing system is the envy of many clubs and has taken us to the next level in terms of offering fast and accurate results to all riders. This timing system has been used to time events for other clubs including Cycling Victoria. As we move forward we wish to encourage more members to purchase their own transponder as some have done already so they have access to their personal results […]
