Welcome to Gold Coast CATS Cycling Club |
|
Gold Coast CATS Cycling Club is essentially a racing club and our members can be seen most weekends competing at the various circuits on the Gold Coast against not only local cycling clubs but also visitors from other regions. Many of our members enjoy competing in the regional races offered by Cycling Queensland and are amongst the top cyclist in the state. We look for opportunities to put together teams and race at Open Events across Queensland and Australia. We are seeking to continually increase the depth of our club and welcome enquiries from prospective members, men and women, whether they are new to the sport or to the region. We are happy to offer assistance to new riders in order to bring them to a level where they are confident to compete or simply to ride safely on the road. |

On Saturday the 1st of August 2009 the Cunningham Classic will be held. This is a 100km Point-to-Point Road Race that finishes in Warwick. We know that Point-to-Point races can be logistically challenging for participants so we want to make it easier for Gold Coast riders to attend. We plan to hire a Bus and a Van (or Bus and closed Trailer) and take riders from the Gold Coast to the event. Those riders that wish to get a lift from Warwick to the Start Line(s) may also register their interest and we will see if we can accommodate you. We are looking to see how many (and how big) the vehicles need to be. All riders from all clubs on the Gold Coast are welcome. We expect a small fee to cover the rental and fuel costs but with more numbers this should be reduced. An arrival area will be set up at the finish line as well to recuperate riders on their return and try and warm everyone back up. To register your interest drop an email to:

You don't need a super bike to be a good cyclist. You can start bike racing with simple and inexpensive equipment - all you need is a safe and road worthy bike and a standards approved helmet. |

What an absolutely great day out! The event was extremely well organised and the facilities were great. Top points to Lifecycle for setting this up. The roads were smooth except on some rough edges and the 40km loop had a few climbs that only just made you flick down to the little ring a few times. The headwind was the hardest part (I can say that as I only did one lap of the 40km course was off the back of the groups with my nose in the wind - but others who did both laps said it got stronger on the second lap). Gold Coast riders had some very good results with Jon Cantwell defending the overall and taking the fastest time. Mark Brady, Riki Lanyon, Garry Elliott, Shane Foley, Will Grey, Nicholas Booth, Steven George, Dave Boe, and Paul Howard all placing very well and taking out high placed honors. |
