Singlespeeder,

All the local clubs put on good races.  HDCC tends to cater better for those in A and B grade, and treat C grade pretty well, wheras KOCC caters for C grade and below better than it caters for A and B grade.  KOCC races almost exclusively at Kooragang Is, which is a flat course and a good place to learn.  HDCC races at Blackhill on a Saturday over winter, Korragang Is on Friday nights, and Steel River once a month.

HVVCC is a slightly different club, but still a good one.  HVVCC caters for the 30+ crowd, and puts on racing at Kooragang Is each Sunday - once a month they have a handicap, another Sunday they have an invitational (men less than 30 can race at the invitational) and the other two sundays are vet graded scratch races.

Each of the three clubs allow riders from other clubs to race (Vets only allows non-vet men to race once per month) except for each Club's Club Championships.


It does not matter which club you join - they are all pretty friendly.
