Course map: Mini Tour RR - 4 April 09
The Canberra Cycling Club and the Vikings Cycling Club have come together to offer a two stage mini tour. The two stage mini tour is designed to give riders a feel for the upcoming Canberra Tour (CT09).
The first stage will be a graded scratch race that takes riders over much of the roads to be used in CT09 while the second stage will be a criterium at SFP.
Stage 1: the Road Race. Start will be on Uriarra Road just outside of SFP with riders going out through Uriarra Crossing and on towards Uriarra Homestead before returning to SFP. The finish is on Uriarra Road on the safe approach just before the SFP entry. Men’s A, B and C and Women’s A grade will do two laps (74kms) while Men’s D and E and Women’s B and C will do one lap (37kms). Juniors will do one lap of a shorter course with the turn around at the top of the three sisters on Uriarra Road (approximately 20kms). The start time will be 9.00am.
Stage 2: the Criterium. Note: to compete in Stage 2 you must complete Stage 1.
- Juniors - 4 laps (starting @ 12 noon)
- Men’s D and E - 30 mins plus 2 laps @ 12.15 pm
