What is Criterium racing?

The Criterium (or Crit) is a high intensity road cycling event which is run on a shorter closed roadway with the international regulation lap distance of no less than 800 metres and no greater than 3km. Generally, in Australia it is accepted that the criterium is run on the smaller circuits. The race can be configured by laps or time plus laps (I.e. 45 min + 3 laps) with generally the first person crossing the line determined as the winner. 

Rocky Kart Club track for criterium races. A fantastic circuit  that is 860 metres long and 8 metres wide with heaps of pit space and parking for vehicles. 

RCC road racing  includes Time trial, Scratch and Handicap racing.

road course at Alton Downs, to complement the 

favorite " leg testing"  Caves circuit.

The Alton Downs Circuit is flatter and prone to exposure to the prevailing winds due to the rural nature of the roads; whereas the Caves Circuit is hilly and windy in sections between the hills.

Both circuits offer plenty of challenges and enjoyable scenery for those using as a training sessions.
