Is it on 29th April - 1st of May 2011 ? How to enter ?
I emailed Canberra Club a few weeks ago about this years tour, and they replied saying their website would be updated soon, but it doesn't seem to have been. And there's a rumor around that the format of the classes will be different this year, and another rumor that entries are now open. But where is all this info ? Does anyone know ? It's not far away, need to decide if going, arrange accommodation etc. Any Canberra Club people out there ?
Cheers,
Nitram

Could be a reflection following a severe accident about 2 years ago in that race.

A lot shorter? Not if you are MMAS1=3! C is definitely shorter as are MMAS4-6+. Women's is about the same. Not looking forward to a 120km race thats for sure! Bummed about not going up stromlo for the TT, been training hard just for that stage!

That's if i am reading the classes correctly. It appears that you will graded for the elite & in age divisions for the masters. Is that the way you see it? If so, there will be a lot of mismatched riders in masters.
