The Norwood Cat 3 women brought the heat at Round 5 of the SS last weekend - Aggressive tactics and a relentless pace kept the energy sky-high, as no breakaway had a chance against the strength of this field.

Rebekah powered through to claim victory in the final sprint, holding onto her General, Sprint, and Masters classifications. The team’s cohesion and determination on full display!
Proud of our women!

Freeway Kermesse up next 🤠🚀

As we roll into a long weekend and super series round 5 at our home base - Pakipakanthi let's acknowledge all of our NCC women's cat3 team members who made the journey up to Wallaroo - the only women's grade to race the now infamous Kadina road race in less than favourable conditions!

This year we have eight incredible women riding together - a fantastic mix of newcomers experiencing their first super series and welcoming back some of our much loved & seasoned racers to help guide and encourage our new additions - which makes for a great dynamic.

We are looking forward to seeing how the women go this weekend ... I would love to say home ground advantage but if you race crits in Adelaide .... It's everyone's home ground 😉📢 GO GET EM NCC!

A slightly belated post - but we wanted to acknowledge all the successes of NCC members at the AusCycling Road & Esports Junior and Master's Nationals Championships held in Loxton over the past weekend.

We had riders on the podiums from U17 through to Masters 13 where Kevin Phillips, a (very) long term NCC member and father of current committee member Victor, took home Gold in both the TT and the road race.

Thanks to the AusCycling - SA Clubs and Community crew for bringing the Junior Nationals to South Australia for the first time in decades!

Would you be this happy if you got to race crits for free this summer?!

Well we need someone to do our socials for the crits this summer, and as a thankyou we'll give you free noms. Currently all our socials are done either by Max (likes a niche social reference that leaves anyone born since 2000 scratching their heads) and Lachie (never learnt to spell or do grammar good) and it's time for someone else to apply their talents.

All you need is a working with children's check (free, and easy to apply for), opposable thumbs and the ability to post a photo with a vague bike related caption a couple of times a week. Slide into our DMs if that's you!

Event cancellation - Mount Crawford Gravel Kermesse
Unfortunately our regular first aid provider was unavailable, and we were unable to find an appropriate replacement, and when combined with some other factors it has made running this weekend's planned event untenable 😔

All entries will be refunded. Sorry folks!

Date Changes: Please be advised of some changes to our planned upcoming races.

We have added a new date to our calendar - next SUNDAY the 18th of August! Enter through Entryboss.

This will be instead of the planned crit on the 31st. Reason why? Because we want to support Port Adelaide Cycling Clubs Crit Thunda in Tanunda! We are very excited to see a new street crit added to the calendar and encourage all our members and regulars to go and show the Barossa how good bike racing can be! Please note we had also originally advertised a crit on the 14th of September, but to accommodate Pedal Prix we have removed this date from the calendar.

It's not long now to our regular tuesday summer crits - with racing scheduled to start on the 8th of October.

At the club’s AGM in July, Frank Smith was awarded Life Membership after many years of dedicated service. As Club Captain, Frank welcomed new riders, empathised with their first race nerves, showed them how to sign in, pin on a number, and fix a transponder to their bike. Although he is no longer Club Captain, he continues to help riders in need. Frank has balanced racing, managed injuries, built a career, raised a beautiful family, and amongst it all he has always remained committed to the club, contributing to the committee regardless of his personal circumstances.

Norwood Cycling Club is over 140 years old, and in 2019, Frank became only the 33rd President of this club—an impressive statistic. Focusing solely on his role as President would not do him justice. Frank’s contributions are varied and include:

• Serving as Race Director for the Port Noarlunga Classic and many seasons of criteriums
• Leading various Norwood Teams during the local Team Series
• Helping renovate the clubroom in 2013 in preparation for the 130th anniversary celebrations
• Co-founding and leading the TDU pilgrimage from the NCC Clubrooms to Willunga Hill
• Demonstrating strong stewardship of the club during the challenging COVID years
• Using his creative and design background to design the club van livery and club kit
• Championing women’s racing in South Australia

Among Frank’s most high-profile contributions was his redesign of the club kit. The fact that we still use this design today is a testament to its success and longevity.

We are honored to award Frank with Life Member of the Norwood Cycling Club.
