Default Racing?

Do you need a liscence to race in Australia?

I can do about 35km/h on a flat. And 21 yo. What sort of races should I enter? Anyone can provide a link? Are there weekly or monthly races in Melbourne?

Yes you do need a licence - cost $100 insurance plus club fee. Given halfway through year be about $125-$135 depending on club.

You should join a club near your home - generally because the courses will be closer.

Have a look in the links on the CSV site it has all you need to know

there are races all the time, even in winter. Pretty much every weekend in winter, and there are extra mid-week criteriums in during datlight savings time

What side of town are you on?

there are heaps of metro clubs:
