Melbourne to Ballarat Cancelled

[PiledHigher]

Yet another road race lost from the calendar - due to inavbility to get police permits.

Was suggested that it is unlikely to continue next year as a point to point race and will be replaced by a loop course near Ballarat.

Soon there will be no races that don't go around in circles, shame.

The real irony of this is that CSV are trying to force us all to
ride opens .. but all the opens are being cancelled, so
there's no racing!

How to backfire .. heh ..

The Ballarat's days were numbered though, the Western Hwy
is way too busy a road to run a race along these days.

I wonder if even the Warny will survive? It should do, it keeps to a
lot of back roads and has a lot of prestige.

By the way, I've had to put my hand up to be in the BBN TTT team
as there wasn't enough riders to do it(!). You'd be a better TTT
rider than me, why don't you call Nicko and volunteer?

I'm just going to sit in and sprint past the other 3 with 50m to go!

All categories go out and back on the Lexton Road"

Nope. If it's the same course as it was 2 years ago,
it's straight out for 20-30km on an undulating road, pin
turn and back ...
