The Dooleys Junior Tour of Sydney (JTOS) proudly hosted by Lidcombe Auburn Cycling Club (LACC). Consisting of three stages over two days, junior cyclists are invited to race on the best courses that Sydney has to offer and battle it out for the win. This year marks the ninth ever JTOS event and each year we continually see improvement in terms of the racing quality and number of participants. The first ever JTOS began with 80 riders participating in the event. Now the event has doubled in size to having over 160 athletes compete over this weekend of competition. For those that haven’t followed us on our journey we started racing at Eastern Creek Raceway then at the Regatta Centre, Dunc Gray Velodrome Criterium Track and now to our home at both Lansdowne as well as Oakville. These new venues provide us with the most entertaining racing to both watch and compete in.
