Welcome to the Bendigo & District Cycling Club
Cyclists have been racing in Bendigo since the 1880’s.
Today, the Bendigo & District Cycling Club hosts competitive, safe and enjoyable cycling races throughout the Bendigo region on the velodrome, road and gravel. We don’t mind whether you’re a junior (or a little older), male or female, experienced or novice – you’re welcome at our cycling club to try your best, improve your fitness and forge friendships.
Racing all around the Bendigo region. All year round.
From spring through to early autumn each year, our club hosts track racing for juniors and open age athletes at the Tom Flood Sports Centre velodrome. From autumn throughout winter, we hit the road and gravel roads through the Bendigo region for a series of handicapped, criterium and scratch races. Our varied racing calendar offers something for everyone.
Our club is affiliated with AusCycling, the National Sporting Organisation responsible for the development, facilitation and growth of all forms of cycling in Australia.
All riders MUST hold a valid AusCycling licence to race with our Club. Find out more >

Last day of the last ever NRS with the @tourofgippsland making way for the @provelosuperleague in 2025 with the Stage4 criteriums in the Rhyll township & hopefully the early morning rain clears.
Stage2 ITT & Road Races yesterday at the Phillip Island Gran Prix circuit were raced in completely different warm sunny conditions & great to see Belinda Bailey back competing again after a winter break to finish 7th in the Elite Women’s road race over 16 laps of 71.2km to finish in an impressive 7th place on the uphill sprint behind, Sophie Marr @aca_cycling winning her maiden NRS stage.
Belinda will be another chance in today’s criterium & long term build up for a big summer of mixing track & road racing.
Great also to see Tali Lane-Welsh @ccache_parkup win his maiden NRS stage win in yesterday’s Elite Men’s ITT over 8.9km & incredibly tie with his team mate, John Cater.
