With the way Melbourne weather has been, you might want to take whatever opportunity arises for a race. We’ve got you covered this Wednesday evening!
There aren’t many races remaining before we take a short mid-season break for Christmas, so make sure you don’t miss out.
Entries via EntryBoss. https://entryboss.cc/races/28208

We’ve reviewed the latest weather forecast update and will be cancelling racing tomorrow morning at the VU. Campbell memorial will be rescheduled at a later date.

ON LINE (EntryBoss) Entries:
We will be changing the race entry cut off time on EntryBoss to 6pm.
This is to support us in race administration, i.e. to confirm all licence verifications, set up emergency contact and start lists, as well as allow the Handicappers to confirm all the gradings.
Our preference is that entries are online, as it allows us to conduct this planning and saves time on race day.

Due to the availability of key people, we’ve had to reschedule the FCC Legends race. The event will now take place on Sunday, 9th November, instead of the originally planned Saturday, 1st November.

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to seeing you all there!

1. Sprint Safely, hold your line and avoid sudden swerves.
2. Stay alert for Sprint laps – Listen for the bell.
3. Conserve your energy for the sprints.
4. Watch out for breakaways.
5. Practice your addition 🙂

The new FCC kit has been quite the hit, so we’ve opened the store to take orders for the Summer Criterium Season.

We’re back with a jam-packed 50 race criterium season and we’re mixing things up a little.

Criterium Fixtures 2025/26 – Footscray Cycling Club

• Our midweek criteriums are shifting from Thursday evenings to Wednesday. We’ll be continuing the $5 entry fee for weekday criteriums based on the successful trial from last season.
• After the Christmas break, we’ll be getting you back into racing with a 3 race twilight series, held over three consecutive evenings. Expect warm nights and fast racing.
• We’re introducing alternate race formats throughout the season to change things up a little.
• We’ll be setting up a scoreboard for a new and refreshed citerium aggregate, which will be updated weekly. So, you can track your progress and stay motivated and competitive.

The season kicks off this Saturday 4-Oct-2025. See you there!

We’re taking a short break before the criterium season starts, but if you’re interested in a race, our friends at Geelong & Surf Coast Cycling Club are hosting an open handicap for masters riders (aged 30+) on 26 September 2025 (the Friday before the AFL Grand Final). https://entryboss.cc/races/26368. There’s a $3000 prize pool and a BBQ. Since we know FCC riders love a good handicap race, we’re eager to support and enter FCC riders for this event and will subsidise $20 of the $45 entry fee for the first 10 full FCC members who sign up. If you’d like to race, please let us know here https://forms.office.com/r/XkYNCrKXFq and we’ll get in touch.
