The Nick Gates Classic has just been run for the second year. This year we decided to join forces with the TP Human Capital Triathlon and make it a multi sport festival. The criterium was the first event on the menu. It was staged along the beautiful Strand in Townsville on the Saturday afternoon, the same circuit as last year. Unfortunately the only downside of combining with the Tri Festival was that we did not have the same class of rider, as all the Australian pros are still in Europe. Nevertheless we still managed to run a great race enjoyed by everyone on the day.
The Cavalier Homes Nick Gates Classic is fast approaching with Townsville cyclists signing up for the professional-style event along The Strand on Saturday September 19.
Entries for the day’s races will be taken online at www.qld.cycling.org.au, all riders must hold a current Cycling Australia license.
The day will kick off at 2:30pm on Saturday September 19, with the main event the Cavalier Homes Nick Gates Classic starting at 3:45pm along The Strand. The TP Human Capital Corporate Team Triathlon starts at 7:45am on Sunday September 20.
