All the CORC riders who entered did a fantastic race in the technical course. The event had a good vibe with the Handlebar Cafe serving food, refreshments and great coffee. Russ Baker was commentating and made sure everyone was kept updated on results and race progress throughout all races. It didn’t matter where on the course the spectators were standing, music and the latest updates were always heard. The Henderson family also did a great job fundraising to support Australia’s 2019 Australian Champion’s to compete in the World Championships. If you would like to contribute please visit their online fundraising page.

CORC would like to thank all the hard working volunteers for making the race happen.
