This Sunday we’re holding our last race of the year – a Kermesse at Oakwood Road, with all entry fees being donated to the Macclesfield CFS, with donations earmarked to upgrade protective eyewear for the volunteer firefighters.
Oakwood Road is another classic course featuring a number of short, sharp climbs that in isolation aren’t much to write home about, but when strung together in a race get significantly more difficult as each lap passes.
Add to that a number of enjoyable descents, the course makes for a great morning of racing.
If you haven’t raced before or aren’t familiar with the lingo, a Kermesse is a graded race on a short course (typically less than 10km) and can be thought of something in between a criterium and road race. For our purposes and without getting too complicated, it’s a road race on a short course. So while the distances are similar to our road races, you just do more laps.
✅ Just for this race, entry is $15 to make a more substantial donation to the Macclesfield CFS (+ transponder hire if required)
✅ We have grades for all abilities and skill levels, from the incredibly fast to the not-so-fast. All welcome.
✅ Short course (G Grade) option is now available.
✅ Free trial races are available.
✅ You don’t need to be an AHCC member to race with us, just a 19+ AusCycling license holder (or u19 that is eligible to race senior racing)
