RIDE BUNINYONG

WITH

PHIL AND MIKE


 

You can ride the renowned Australian championships road race circuit at Buninyong with two stars of the SBS Tour de France commentary team,

              Phil Liggett and Mike Tomalaris!

The 2010 titles will expand to new spectacular heights with the addition of the three-race criterium category and a recreational ride which will give all-comers an opportunity to pedal for two hours on the road race course with Phil and Mike.

The championships will be held from Wednesday, January 6, to Sunday, January 10. It will be the first time in Australian cycling history that all three disciplines - time trials, criteriums and road races - will be held on the same program for men, women and men under 23.  Program Format

There will be nine championships races over the five days - an absolute cycling extravaganza for Ballarat, plus the people's ride to be conducted from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. on the final day.

Recreational riders will be able to test themselves over as many laps as they wish on the fabled 10.2km road race circuit. Then they can watch the thrilling 163.2km

Australian open men's road race championship, starting at 11 a.m.

Robbie McEwen, Stuart O'Grady, Matt Wilson, Matty Lloyd and Sara Carrigan are just a few of the champions to have conquered Mt.Buninyong.

Your chance comes on January 10.
