Criterium racing

Melbourne's core criterium racing season commences in October each year and runs through to April the following year. A criterium, or crit, is a bike race held on a short course (usually less than 5 km), often run on closed-off city centre streets.

SKCC previously held criteriums in White St, Port Melbourne. Due to the Fisherman's Bend rezoning and the encroachment of residential buildings the club is looking for a new permanent circuit. in 2022 and 2023, the club held criteriums on closed roads at Albert Park Lake in the lead up to the Melbourne F1 Grand Prix. Racing is typically graded from the premier women's and men's events A grade events through to E grade entry-level races. The club also hold races for para-athletes.

Road racing

The road racing seasons commences in April each year and extends through to October.

The road racing calendar consists of handicap and graded racing events run each weekend on closed roads outside the Melbourne metropolitan areas. SKCC is part of a group of seven cycling clubs who work together to organise the winter road racing season. This group of clubs is referred to as the Northern Combine. [3]
