So as part of the NRS series, There is an event in Canberra.
Last year, I went and was intrigued by the Cirterium Circuit used.
I had two main thoughts - I would love to race that course, and I wish that it wasn't JUST the NRS riders who got to race that circuit.
A few weeks ago, I was contacted by the organisers of the National Capital Tour and asked if I could run a B/C Grade race for both Women and Men

Why should the NRS riders get all the fun?

This year, the NCT would like to invite riders not racing in the NRS to race around Federation Mall. This is a once a year event, with racing in the centre of the parliamentary triangle a rare and special event.
This race is open to all B and C grade CA members who have a Gold racing licence.
The course is clockwise around Federation Mall, as can be seen here. http://nct.conceptishosting.com.au/wp-c ... te-Map.png" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
