Road & Gravel Racing in Bendigo
Want to race on road and gravel cycle races? You’re in the right place.
Road Racing throughout the Bendigo region:
Throughout the Bendigo region, we host a series of criteriums, handicaps and scratch races on the open roads throughout the countryside. Most races take place on Sunday mornings and are organised by our dedicated team of volunteers. The rich cycling history of the Bendigo region is on display with a series of Memorial and Classics races each season. These honour a number of past greats, as well as incorporating some of the best riding locations in central Victoria.
Please check our race calendar below or check out Bendigo and District Cycling Club on EntryBoss to get involved.
Gravel Racing throughout the Bendigo region
The gravel riding and racing boom has arrived in Bendigo! We’ve got some of the best gravel roads in regional Australia and are eager to share and showcase these with visitors from near and far. You don’t have to be an experienced gravel racer (although it helps) – we can assist you to get rolling.
