City Dirt Crits - For Fun and Training (Melbourne)

[Velophile]

If you are looking for mid week XC type training, check out the Dirt Crits each Tuesday. Run by Deluxe Bicycle Club in South Melb, rego from 18:00, racing starts 18:30. Back of the car park, Cnr Montague & Munro St's Sth Melb (Melway 2E H 11) enter off Munro St.
It's a fun little course, all dirt, mostly singletrack with some mounds & tight corners to keep your attention.
Cost = $5, includes a post race beer.

Sure, come on down & check it out. You can ride the course before &/or after the race.
