Help Shape the Future of Racing at FCC

Following strong support from the FCC Committee we are seeking Expressions of Interest from members who would like to be a part of the FCC x Salter Cycles Race Team.

Why a Race Team?

FCC has a proud history of competitive cycling. The Race Team pilot has been designed to support ambitious riders, help them continue their development, and maintain a strong connection to the club.

The program aims to

Strengthen A Grade participation and racing quality.
Create a pathway from club racing to open racing.
Increase FCC representation at major Victorian events.
Provide role models for developing riders and juniors.
Support member retention and club engagement.

What We’re Looking For

The FCC x Salter Cycles Race Team will initially focus on A Grade riders who are keen on competing and commited to representing the club at Victorian and Australian open road events. The focus is on representation, club engagement, and sustainability rather than performance outcomes.

Riders selected for the Race Team will be expected to

Maintain FCC membership and a race licence.
Represent FCC positively and professionally.
Wear approved FCC team kit at designated events.
Support club races and memorial events.
Volunteer and marshal where required.
Contribute to a positive and inclusive club culture.

While the initial intake is focused on A Grade riders, the long-term vision of the program is to create a pathway that supports the broader FCC racing community.

Questions?

Following our recent member survey, we’re pleased to confirm that our upcoming criterium season will be held on Thursday nights at Victoria University.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to complete the survey. The response was clear, with a strong preference expressed for Thursday night racing.

While we understand that no single race night will suit every member, the committee felt it was important to seek member feedback and make a decision that best reflects the preferences of the majority.

Keep an eye on our website and social media channels for the full season calendar and event information.

Thank you again for your input and support. We look forward to seeing you at the racing.

It’s been a little while between races, the weather hasn’t exactly been on our side, but we’re hopeful on running a VU crit this Sat 11 July.

To beat the forecasted rain in the afternoon, we’ve moved our start times:

• 11:00AM — A & C Grades
