Macarthur Open Criteriums

2012 MCCC Open Criteriums - Sun 1st April, 2012

Waler Crescent, Smeaton Grange

The 2012 MCCC Open Criteriums will be at the new criterium circuit which is about 900m in length and basically rectangular in shape with a slight incline on the finishing straight and a slight decline on the back straight. The road surface is billiard table smooth asphalt and all who have raced there so far have raved about it. The new circuit is a loop of Waler Crescent which runs off Bluett Drive which runs off Anderson Rd, Smeaton Grange. The course has ample room for race tactics to unfold and plenty of attacks are usually made with breaks forming more often than not. Owing to the popularity of the event in recent years there will now be five divisions up from four last year so all levels of riders are catetered for. Excellent prize money is on offer with payments down to 5th place, and sprint primes in each grade.
