The St Kilda Cycling Club, commonly referred to as SKCC, is an Australian cycling club based in inner and south-east Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The club is part of the international cycling union,[1] the sport's peak body.
The cycling club was established in 1999 and its name originates from the Melbourne suburb of St Kilda, Victoria although its membership base extends beyond the suburban boundaries. The club is a not for profit association formed under the Associations Incorporation Act 1981.[2]
The club is the largest in Australia and has the largest female membership of any Australian cycling club. Former Olympian and current head of the OCC Oceanian Cycling Confederation and current UCI Vice-President Tracey Gaudry is the Number One ticket holder.
History
[edit]SKCC was formed in 1999 when a group of local riders saw the need for a local club to service the growing number of cyclist in inner Melbourne.

Criterium racing
[edit]Melbourne's core criterium racing season commences in October each year and runs through to April the following year. A criterium, or crit, is a bike race held on a short course (usually less than 5 km), often run on closed-off city centre streets.
SKCC previously held criteriums in White St, Port Melbourne. Due to the Fisherman's Bend rezoning and the encroachment of residential buildings the club is looking for a new permanent circuit. in 2022 and 2023, the club held criteriums on closed roads at Albert Park Lake in the lead up to the Melbourne F1 Grand Prix. Racing is typically graded from the premier women's and men's events A grade events through to E grade entry-level races. The club also hold races for para-athletes.
Road racing
[edit]The road racing seasons commences in April each year and extends through to October.
The road racing calendar consists of handicap and graded racing events run each weekend on closed roads outside the Melbourne metropolitan areas. SKCC is part of a group of seven cycling clubs who work together to organise the winter road racing season. This group of clubs is referred to as the Northern Combine.[3]
