LACC CX Lidcombe

This is the first time a Cyclocross event has been held at this venue. Lidcombe Oval (or Lidcombe Velodrome) has held Cycle Racing since the 1930's in Sydney, you will become part of history by competing in this inaugural event. Hosted by LACC (Lidcombe Auburn Cycling Club), with support from Ashfield Cycles, Waterrower, and Dooleys. The racing will take place in the afternoon to allow time for the Volunteers to set up the course prior.

If you've not entered a Cyclocross event before, the 'come and try' race is for you - any bike is welcome, though we recommend a MTB, Cyclocross or Gravel bike. To enter most of the other races you will need a Cyclocross specific or Gravel bike (drop handlebars and suitable tyres up to 35mm wide). For all events, a 'race day license' is required, and will be accepted from Cycling Australia (CA) or Mountain Bike Australia (MTBA) only.
