YCC - Woodford Island Road Race Series - 20th June 2021

COURSE DETAILS

The first ever YCC road race will be held at Woodford Island on a fast 42km out and back course from Maclean to Brushgrove and return. The race starts near the heritage listed McFarlane Bridge and follows the beautiful south arm of the Clarence River on flat roads before passing across a few short sharp hills in the middle section of the course. Riders will turn around at Brushgrove village and head back towards maclean with a short climb up red hill before a fast run to the finish line. This race suits the strong attacking rider or the sprinter who can handle short climbs.

The format will be OPEN GRADED SCRATCH, with A, B, C and D grade races on offer. This should cater for all levels of racing skill and ability. 

Juniors (U15 and U17) riders may ride in open grades under the condition they race using their restricted gears and do not exceed the maximum allowable distance for their age category, unless they have received approval by the State Junior Coach.
