Commencing in October 2025, we will be offering a women’s specific criterum grade every Tuesday, to foster participation and confidence in riding on the Stromlo Forest Park criterium track, under race conditions. This event occurs on a track circuit that is closed off to pedestrians and vehicles.

This may be attractive to new riders and non-club members wishing to try out the SFP criterium track. All women and non-binary riders 30 years and above, are welcome.

Please note that there will be several smaller bunches of cyclists on the SFP track at the same time, and they will be instructed in safe passing techniques. New riders should be aware that there are regular hazards such as kangaroos that all riders must navigate whilst handling one’s bike safely.
