Road cycling involves both team and individual events. Races may be held over a number of stages or as single days. Other events include time trials (both team and individual) and criteriums (a race of varying number of laps around a circuit of roads). Races vary in distance from a few kilometres for some criteriums, to individual stages of 250 km or more.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Road cycling primarily requires strength and endurance, although anaerobic capacity may be called upon in breakaways, hill climbing and all-out sprints to the line.
EVENT TYPE: CRITERIUM
The Club holds Criterium racing with events being held on selected evenings and some weekends. Everyone is welcome, and we have a wide variety of categories, so you can start out and build up to the faster categories as your confidence and experience builds.
EVENT TYPE: ROAD RACING
The Club conducts road racing through out the year in the greater Hobart Area, see the calendar for upcoming events.
Many of our members will race in Open events on the Cycling Tasmania calendar which cater for seniors and juniors.
Several members of the club are professional cyclists and race all over the world.
