2026 has been an interesting year for cycling, both at the club level, and at the national level. We’ve seen some clubs raise concerns about the direction that AusCycling and the sport of cycling more generally are taking, and have seen what I felt to be a disappointing response from AusCycling to these clubs.

Although the rain came down during the race, everyone stayed safe, and we were thrilled with a strong PACC contingent starting and finishing the race.
