Re: Tour of Bright 2013

Last weekend i headed down to Bright for this year's edition of the Tour of Bright. It has a new format, with the ITT on the Friday afternoon (new course, essentially 13.5kms of flatish terrain), followed by a 90km stage on the Saturday that finished with an uphill 7.5km climb of Tawonga Gap, then o...

Great thank you for the grade comparisons. I'm stroking my non existent beard thinking about this one.

Is there much difference in travel times between Heffron and landsdown from say dulwich hill?

Glad we picked the fast bunches today Mike! Crafty announced at the start line that if we know of any riders in the men masters 1 race that we should bag them out. The bunch that started 10 mins behind mas1 caught and passed them. The bunch was the women's masters 4 apparently. So either the mas1 wa...

Re: NSW Master ITT, Crit & Road champs 6th - 8th Sept

Not sure why the didn't use the timing chips today. The masters 2 results don't have the correct numbers matching names, and masters 5 results are inconclusive!

On a positive note, Mike smashed the field up in the 5's! I am extatic with a top 20 finish.

Re: Tour of Bright 2013

Thanks Wallman. Just as I thought. A race for very small people! I wasn't sure if the "bigger" riders entered or stayed away from this one.

Sounds like the Tour of Bright is the equivalent of the Dinnerville entry wise (harder to gain a start than the race itself).

Tour of Bright 2013

Hi all, Cycling Victoria have announced the dates and entry process for the Tour of Bright this year. Since the tour of Canberra is closed to all but NRS (and the course is now mostly flat), i thought i'd join the lottery and gain a spot on the start list to get my hillclimbing fix. For those of you...
