Cycling in Melbourne Australia
Cyclocross!
Anyone here into cyclocross ?
"Brunswick Cycling Club in conjunction with Dirty Deeds CX presents three cross races and a fun prologue to be held during Winter 2012. "
More info here...
Looks like a good way to try your hand at the sport, and by all accounts great fun... of course, you'd need another bike :)

"No flat bars, no MTB wheels..."
I'm off to Smiths Gully.
Drop bars and funny wheels are welcome to join me.

The open class was pretty well-contested too. (And not just in the kooky costume race either).

From the orig link
Racing will be conducted in three categories:
- Kids:Under 15 on the race day.
- Cyclocross: If it looks like a cross bike, and it sounds like a cross bike, it is eligible for this category. No flat bars, no MTB wheels and no fixed gears allowed. Races will be run in two grades, A and B.
- Open: All others.

Was an awesome night to spectate, HUGE crowd, bit of hilarity, great event to watch. Definitely bring your own grub; the queues at the food providers were long; though full credit for having quality caterers (Beatbox Kitchen I think?). We stopped by Pappa's Fish and Chips on the way there....
I think the kids race needed a bit of sub-divison based on age; the little tuckers (sub 8yo's?) on single speed kiddies bikes faired no chance against the older kids (12 or 14 year olds?). And two laps seemed a little extreme for them?
