Bankstown Juniors
Bankstown Sports Cycling- Road
Bankstown Sports Cycling hold Junior and Senior racing

winter, generally on the first and third Saturdays of the
month. Please see our calendar page for race dates.
Our road circuit is located on Henry Lawson Drive at
Lansdowne Park.
Entry to the circuit is from the car park on the top
of the hill- in front of the remote control model car
track.
The Lansdowne course is a challenging 2.1 km bitumen
circuit just for cyclists.
Our typical club road race distances:
Juniors (age divisions from 6 years) Events range from 2 –
8 km.
Seniors & Masters (graded ‘A’ to “D”) Events range
from 20 – 50 km.
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
raced at a faster pace.
