Regrettably due to a number of contributing factors, not least of all the current road conditionson the planned courses due tothe extensive rain across the region, the 2012 Canberra Tour scheduled for May 4-6 this year has to be postponed to later in the year.
While the exact date is not secured, it would be anticipated that the event would be run on the 28th, 29thand 30thof September, pending road approvals. This is not a decision that the committee has made lightly but as it stands now the conditions of the roads in and around the infamous hills of the Cotter/Urriara region are not ideal for running a bike race.
On the positive side the new date may provide that little more motivation to train through the winter period and may work well as a lead up to race such as Tour of Bright.
The committee apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused people in their training plans and look forward to seeing people at the race in September.
