Hotel Canobolas Tour of Orange - NSW/ACT State Road Series - Round 2
Graded Road Racing
- Road
Come and join us in the food and wine capital of NSW for two days of fantastic racing supported by Orange City Council.
With four grades each for Men and Women, the tour has something for everyone, a prologue on fully closed roads kicks the tour off, followed by a technical criterium on the newly built Gosling Creek Crit Circuit and finally a road race on a rolling circuit with plenty of opportunities for breakaways to get up the road and an uphill sprint finish to challenge the legs.
The course offers fantastic opportunities for spectators to watch the action, as well as all that the orange region offers riders and non-riders alike – amazing food, world famous wineries and great hospitality.
Speaking of hospitality, event sponsor and long-term supporter of the local Orange Cycle Club, the Hotel Canobolas, is hosting a pre-event social gathering on Friday night and the presentation for the Tour leaders on Saturday evening followed by dinner. With a $25 voucher, discounted accommodation (click here and use code OCC24 for a 10% discount), a fantastic bistro and local wine and beer on at the bar, be sure to support the business that has supported local cyclists for so long.
Finally, nationally and internationally recognised winery, Swinging Bridge Wines, will be hosting wine tastings and a magnificent Mother’s Day Lunch at their cellar door with uninterrupted views of Mt Canobolas. Click here for more information and to make a booking
We look forward to seeing you in Orange for the 2nd Round of the NSW/ACT Road Series!!
