Licensing Information

Dirty Deeds cyclocross races are run as Cycling Victoria sanctioned club racing events. All participants in the event must be current licensed members of Cycling Victoria, Cycling Australia. Mountain Bike Australia or BMX Australia (BMXA). If you hold a current competitive CA, MTBA or BMXA license, then you are good to go. For those riders that do not hold a current license, there are a number of options:

  1. Join the Brunswick Cycling Club : Sign up to Brunswick with a full racing license to race track, road, crit and cross races at the club or open levels. For more information on joining the club, please have a look at the membership page.
  2. Season Pass : A cross-specific license that covers all four Dirty Deeds events and the Cycling Victoria cross open – $50 (see below).
  3. Junior License : Junior riders who were born in 2000/2001 or turn 11 to 12 in 2012 that are racing in the kids class may ride with a “Kidz” or Rec Junior license. These can be obtained as required on race day and will cover all cross events and the BCC track clinic.

For more information on licensing, we strongly encourage riders to attend a Brunswick club race and have a chat in-person with a club representative. There are many options available and it is always easier to introduce yourself and talk through the options with another human.

2012 Cyclocross Season Pass

This year, Brunswick CC and Dirty Deeds CX are very pleased to be able to offer riders a “Season Pass” for the sensational price of $50. This pass will look a lot like a Cycling Victoria 3 ride permit, but will cover entry to all three Dirty Deeds races and the Cycling Victoria State Championships in September. That’s 4 rides for the price of 3 – and you can always trade the pass up to a full licence, should you decide to compete on the track or road. Unfortunately this pass will not allow you to race A Grade at DDCX Round 2 – Darebin Parklands.

Season passes can be picked up from the registration desk at a Tuesday Track race (DISC -Darebin), Thursday Night Training (HSV – Brunswick) or from the registration desk at all Dirty Deeds events. Ask for Andrew Blake or Jeremy Soawyer.
