CyclingNSW has done a great job in revamping the NSW Open race calendar and if the coronavirus restictions are eased its a super hectic second half of the year
Details are in the BiciSport Special Events section of this website with TTT training to potentially commence on Sunday 23 August at Terrey Hills.

A bit bored watching the Food Channel ? …. If you want some great Flanders YouTube then go to Flanders Classics and go to Flanders 100, 101, 102 and beyond. Simply brilliant behind the scenes documentaries.

The need for “essential” family outings has now switched to the Ku Ring Gai National Park using the McCarrs Creek-West Head Road.
Recent Sunday’s have recorded in excess of 400 cars through the (bottom) McCarrs Creek Road toll booth by 12.30pm. On the weekends - best be off the West Head Road by 9.30am and only use the Akuna Bay Road loop (in both directions).
Also avoid McCarrs Creek Road (both directions) after 9.30am. The Akuna Bay loop is much quieter than either McCarrs Creek Road or the West Head Road.

Racing has been suspended until further notice with a revised CycNSW road racing program starting from 1 August.

Special Events have been added & updated on the BiciSport website which includes -

Eastern Creek Raceway (Masters)
- Several weekends to choose from with the next ECR Masters tentatively booked for 9 August
Revised 2020 into 2021 BiciSport Special Events now updated

Subject to Federal & State Government announcements Cycling Australia have announced the future NRS race series program from either September or October 2020.
