It's kind of hard to believe that event is coming here, to NSW of all places. There is still time for our politicians to mess it up. Wonder if riders will be stopped for riding furiously, or not having bells...
I'm shocked - the most anti-cycling state in the country and we somehow land this event!

I believe it will start and finish at Wollongong.
How about we start at Diggies cafe North Beach where all the bunch rides start from, head north up Builli Pass, north on the old highway to Helensburgh, drop down to Stanwell Tops, could add in an excursion up through the National park to Garie Beach, return south through the Park, drop down Bald Hill across the Seacliff bridge and down through the Gong again, then a south loop which goes up Maq Pass and down Jamberoo Pass, through Jamberoo into Kiama, then back north to finish at Wollongong harbour.
So many great options.
PS I was just joking about Diggies

Sad really, as I guess any city in Aus could do a great job.
Hope it goes well, they have a great course and that the locals support it.
For those that mention a course, climbs or loops, how about making a course via RWGPS etc and have a link here for us out of towners, as the names sound nice, but doesn't mean anything.
Cheers

But it misses out on Sydney and such a brilliant opportunity to showcase the city... a start in Wollongong - ride up past Homebush and then bobbinhead, Akuna, Palm Beach and across Sydney habour with a loop past Bondi and into the city and then finale in the Rocks (and presentation in front of the Sydney Opera House)... that would be gold.

No surprises, the Tour Down Undee has been cancelled. The World Championships are in September 2022, just under a year and a lot of time for things to change.
Are there any thoughts or concerns about the event taking place full-scale and with all nations attending?
The reality of Covid is that it will not go away, rather it is a new norm that changes daily life - from vaccinations to daily hygiene rituals. Australia is following a slower and stricter approach to many other nations and I wonder if it will be ready in time.

The paper and digital verifications and mandatory testing before flying and after landing woukd go a long way.

Can common sense prevail? Surely it can.
