Introduction
The 22nd Canberra Tour is presented by the Canberra Cycling Club and will be on the weekend Fri 15th, Sat 16th and Sun 17th April 2005 . The Canberra Tour has, over 20 years, developed into the premier two-day cycling event in Australia . History:
The race commenced as the Canberra Two day tour in 1981, with sponsorship by Spokesman Cycles until 1988.
