7 Crits in 7 Days: Stage 7 Final Rinsing at Casey Fields

If you think taking on 7 crits in 7 days is a reasonable idea, you haven’t tried racing Glenvale after back-to-back rainouts and zero sleep. Running on pure exhaustion, we loaded up the car for the final stage of our 7 crits in 7 days challenge to race with the Southern Masters Cycling Club at Casey Fields.

7 Crits in 7 Days Stage Recap

Before diving into the Casey Fields finale, here is how the rest of the week played out across Victoria:

• Sandown: Pure chaotic madness with 50 riders and huge seated accelerations.

• Footscray: A long trek out, dropped microphones, and a proper sufferfest course.

• St Kilda: Hot-dog circuits, tight apexes, and brutal three-up sprint finishes.

Strategic Chaos at Casey Fields

Five minutes into Stage 7, Sammy Muscat launched off the gun. Having tackled the entire 7 crits in 7 days series, he still had the legs to throw heavy attacks into a headwind.

We brought the break back after 20 minutes, setting up a high-speed cat-and-mouse game through the closing laps.

The Sprint Lead-Out and Victory

With 6.5km to go, Nico launched a solo counter-attack. I parked on the front of the main field to block the chase, before jumping into the lead-out train to deliver our sprinter through the final corner at 600W for the win.

Final Thoughts on the Challenge

Crossing the line to complete 7 crits in 7 days for the second year running was an unreal feeling. Huge thanks to our sponsors St Cloud, Vert Nutrition, and Sunmotion Sunscreen for keeping us fueled and covered all week.
