84km Handicap Road Race:  Start time 11am

116km Handicap Road Race: Start time 12 noon

See NSW cycling page for more details

84 km Road Race: The shorter road race commences in Jewnee Street, Wantabadgery on the Saturday. The course provides a gentle start for riders leaving the Rural Fire Service Hall at Wantabadgery; a left hand turn onto the Oura Road then a right takes the racers out along the undulating Wantabadgery Rd. Riders then turn left onto Nangus Road and head towards, and then through, the township of Junee.  Turn left again at Harefield. Pattersons Rd takes the riders back to along the Oura road all the way back to the finish line at Wantabadgery.

 

The course through Junee is dominated by a fast downhill entry into the town via the Wantabadgery Road and Belmore St. Take a left hand turn into the centre of Junee.  A short right, left combination of corners sees riders through William St and onto the Junee-Harefield Road then Patterson’s Road back towards Wagga.  A left onto the Oura Road takes riders back to the start/finish line at Wantabadgery.
