Welcome to the Bendigo & District Cycling Club
Cyclists have been racing in Bendigo since the 1880’s.
Today, the Bendigo & District Cycling Club hosts competitive, safe and enjoyable cycling races throughout the Bendigo region on the velodrome, road and gravel. We don’t mind whether you’re a junior (or a little older), male or female, experienced or novice – you’re welcome at our cycling club to try your best, improve your fitness and forge friendships.
Racing all around the Bendigo region. All year round.
From spring through to early autumn each year, our club hosts track racing for juniors and open age athletes at the Tom Flood Sports Centre velodrome. From autumn throughout winter, we hit the road and gravel roads through the Bendigo region for a series of handicapped, criterium and scratch races. Our varied racing calendar offers something for everyone.
Our club is affiliated with AusCycling, the National Sporting Organisation responsible for the development, facilitation and growth of all forms of cycling in Australia.
All riders MUST hold a valid AusCycling licence to race with our Club. Find out more >
The BDCC Road Championships are this Sunday 5th December for Senior Men’s, Women’s & Masters starting & finishing at the Harcourt North hall.
Entry via EntryBoss is free & only open for BDCC members.

Huge week end for our BDCC riders at the @tourofbright in the Men’s A grade competition with the Queen Stage3 up the iconic 20km climb of Mt Buffalo finishing at the Dingo Dell car park that would decide the final General Classification pecking order.
The early groups dodged the heavy showers that would hit the A grade men’s field on the climb & combined with a head wind saw a huge group of 40 plus stick tougher before the fireworks began in the last 5km with the defending champion & GC leader, Luke Plapp @greenedgecycling not getting handed his title on a platter with the young brigade launching a continual barrage of brutal attacks.
With 2km to the Chequered flag, Nate Hadden put in the most promising attack & had a 10 second buffer before being reeled in to have 14 riders contest the sprint finish with Plapp launching a serous attack with 200m to go on the right side to only veer into the race convoy deviation that saw Stage1 winner up Tawonga Gap, young MTB star, Jack Ward jump clear to take his second stage win from his Bridgelane team mate, Zac Marriage & a great ride by Nate Hadden in 3rd place.
The BDCC would have 3 in the top 11 with Ronan Tesse, 8th, Curtis Harrison 8th & Alex Evans in 11th place.
Luke Plapp would successfully defend his GC title from Jack Ward with Zac Marriage just edging out Tali Lane Welsh for the 3rd place podium spot.
Curtis Harrison would end up in 7th, Nate Hadden 11th & Ronan Teese in 13th place on the final GC.
Tali Lane Welsh also finished in 2nd place in the Hillclimb competition behind Luke Plapp.
Curtis Harrison would also win the Victorian Road Series A grade men’s title (Trophy accepted by Darren Casey) from Luke Plapp & Julian Braudry.
Congratulations to all the BDCC riders that competed over the week end & there will be a compressive photography album of all divisions ready by Tuesday on the Australian Cycling Photography.com.au web site.

Big win by Bendigo’s Pat Eddy @dsmfirmpostnl in front of a huge crowd in central Bright to come out & watch some world class crit racing with a star studded field.
It all came down to a bunch gallop with Eddy to powerfull in the slight up hill sprint from the U19 Australian criterium champion, Oscar Gallagher @keystone_cranetech_racing & 3rd Blake Quick @greenedgecycling.
Pat will not be starting the @tourofbright kicking off this morning in wet conditions with Stage1 Gaps loop by @pepofarms for all the divisions over 94.38km.
Good luck to all the Bendigo riders competing.
