Criterium Racing
Bankstown Cycling Club Criterium races are held at the 700 meter Criterium circuit next to the Dunc Gray Velodrome at Carysfield Road, Bass Hill. (Part of the Crest complex). In a Criterium, riders usually race for a set time period. When the time is up, a whistle is blown, signifying there is 3 laps to go. A bell is rung at the beginning of the last lap. Criteriums are generally held over shorter distances than road racing, but are often fast paced.
