Comment: This draft appears to have substantially improved since it was last declined. It also appears that this draft is mostly the work of an IP address, but partly of a registered editor, who are probably the same person who is forgetting to log in. The editor has been advised to remember to log in when editing. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:35, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
- Comment: This club doesn't meet the notability criteria at WP:ORG. The club doesn't inherit notability from notable people appearing. Some sources are local coverage, unreliable sources, primary sources and passing mentions. Cult of Green (talk) 04:14, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
- Comment: Notability requires "substantial coverage". Your first 3 cites are all brief mentions. The rest of your cites are all non-independent, or again, they are just brief mentions. The club exists, folks ride there. What we need are 3 or 4 good in-depth stories from independent sources (newspapers, magazines, etc.) about the club, not just the people in the club.

Carnegie Caulfield Cycling Club is a leading Australian cycling club based in the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne. First established in the early 1900's, it has a long history of road, criterium and track racing. As a club, Carnegie-Cauflied has won multiple cycling premierships at both senior and junior level. It's members have gone on to win multiple National and World Championships as well as participate at the Olympics.
Club History
Originally known as the Carnegie Amateur Cycling club, the club traces its history back over 100 years.[1]. Early races were typically handicap races over 10-60 mile road courses, often starting at the Rosstown Hotel before making their way along Dandenong Road [2][3][4][5].
The club also played a big part in the local community, in particular through its support for the Oakleigh Carnival[6][7]. Around this time, the club formalised the first incarnation of its junior program recorded in 1931[8] after early success in the Victoria Club Premierships[9]. At the same time, Carnegie's senior team also won major races[10].
During the 1950's, Carnegie track racing, held at its local track Packer Park[11], drew crowds of up to 4000 spectators[12] watching some of Australia's best amateur and professional riders[13]. The quality of Carnegie's track racing was a key driver behind the push by the NSW Cycling Union to move the 1956 Melbourne Olympics Track Cycling programme to the Carnegie velodrome after delays in the resurfacing of the Olympic Park Velodrome[14]. Although the push did not succeed - the Olympic Track program was held at Olympic Park - subsequent issues with the Olympic Track created a second push to move the Australian Titles (to be held after the Olympics) to the Carnegie Velodrome[15].
Carnegie's track racing program become even more popular during the 1960's and 70's with the Caulfield Cup on Wheels being the leading race for amateur cyclists in Melbourne[16][17], often being held on the same night as the Melbourne Cup on Wheels, an equivalent race for professional cyclists.
In 1984, Carnegie Amateurs Cycling Club merged with Brighton-South Caulfield Professional Cyclists Association to form Carnegie Caulfield Cycling Club[18].
More recently, the club's summer criterium racing has become very popular, attracting some of the best riders in the World and is regularly covered in leading cycling publications including Cyclingnews.com[19]. This success, however, did attract some unwanted attention in 2013[20].
Racing
The club hosts a range of races over the course of the year. In summer, criterium races are held on Sunday mornings at Glenvale Crescent and Tuesday evenings at Sandown International Raceway. The club also holds track racing and training during summer. Over winter, the club runs longer road races east of Melbourne.
Criterium Racing
Between October and April each summer, Carnegie Caulfield holds weekly criterium races on Sunday mornings at Glenvale Crescent, Mulgrave and on Tuesday evenings at Sandown International Raceway. Races are typically between 45 to 60 minutes and are conducted on circuits with little to no vehicle traffic. Racing caters for all levels of riders, from elite male and female professionals to juniors and novice riders. It is not uncommon for 300+ riders to attend a day's racing.
At the elite end, A Grade has hosted some of the world's best riders, including:
- Tour de France yellow jersey winner, and UCI World Road Race Champion Cadel Evans[21]
- Tour de France yellow jersey winner, Olympic Gold Medallist, UCI World Pursuit Champion and World Hour Record Holder Sir Bradley Wiggins[22]
- Tour de France green jersey winner Baden Cooke[23]
- Vuelta a Espana King of the Mountains winner Simon Clarke[24]
- Giro d'Italia King of the Mountains winner Matt Lloyd[25]
- Milan-San Remo and Liege-Bastogne-Liege winner Simon Gerrans[26]
Glenvale Crescent has also hosted some of the world's leading female riders, including:
- Olympic Road Race Gold Medallist, UCI World Road Race Champion, Nicole Cooke[27]
- Olympic Road Race Gold Medallist, Elizabeth Tadich[28]
- Olympic Road Race Gold Medallist, Kathy Watt
- World Individual Pursuit Champion, Katie Mactier[29]
- Two time winner of UCI World Cup Anna Millward[30]
For most of the season, women race alongside men, with prizes paid for the first ~3 women across the line in each grade (depending on overall numbers). There also 2-3 women's only races held over the course of the summer criterium racing season.
The club also conducts a cycling clinic for junior riders at both Glendale Crescent and Sandown each week. Riders are taught bunch riding and racing skills by Tokyo Olympian Mick Hollingworth for around 20 minutes before they are set free to race for 10 minutes.
Race entries are accepted on the day.
Carnegie Caulfield's summer criterium are internationally renowned and have been cited as some of the best racing in Australia[31][32].
Multiple independent websites provided advice to new riders looking to get into racing with Carnegie Caulfield[33][34].
