New Trial Schedule!

For the remainder of 2020 we are trialing a change in the standard race schedule. B & C grades will exchange time slots to see if it simplifies passing.
C Grade:  start 7:45am
B Grade: start 8:30am
We’ll then re-assess prior to commencing racing in 2021.

Racing at Muzz

Most Saturdays throughout the year, Balmoral hold racing at their famous Murarrie Criterium track, (refer calendar to right).

This track has seen stars from the junior ranks through to World Tour riders race on it, and has plenty of grades for people with less experience as well. Murarrie is a 1.4 kilometre circuit of closed road located on Wynnum Road at the Murarrie Recreation Reserve, (1238 Wynnum Road, Murarrie).

If you wish to race with us you must first have a Cycling Australia racing licence  http://www.membership.cycling.org.au/ and a Balmoral club grading, which you can acquire by filling out this form. The grading may take a couple of days, allow enough time.

The Entry fee for a Murarrie race is $16, or $11 for juniors*, regardless of grading. The Masters Grade is for (A,B or C grade) riders who are 40 years or older.

*Only Juniors who have completed the Junior Development training (link to junior development) and have been approved by the club handicapper to race in senior gradings can race in the Muzz crits.  Juniors must also comply with CA tech rules (including rollout) to race in senior gradings.

Men and women race together in all grades. Club crit gradings are designed so that you can be competitive in your grade, if you do not feel that this is the case please contact the club handicapper. Your Balmoral crit grading will not necessarily reflect your CQ open grading. We
also occasionally change format (eg: Teams racing).

If racing is cancelled due to weather or calendar conflicts, the news page of the Balmoral website and the club facebook page will be updated to signify this.  Please check before leaving for racing on Saturday morning. Any pre-registrations are either carried forward or refunded in the event of racing being suspended.

All participants are required to agree to our Terms and Conditions.

Covid19

Muzz Racing has resumed under a Covid Safe Plan, but requires pre-registration through EntryBoss. You can’t just turn up on the day and race.
