AusCycling and Parklife Cycling Club acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which Rounds 7+8 of the NCXS is held – the Bediagal people of the Dharug nation. We acknowledge not only this ancestral relationship, but also the ongoing deep feelings of attachment and relationship of the people of this nation to Country. We respect and value their past, present and ongoing connection to the land and cultural beliefs. We also pay our respects to their Elders past and present, and we extend that respect to other Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander language groups.

THIS ENTRY IS FOR SUNDAY / ROUND 8 ONLY! - ENTER HERE FOR SATURDAY / ROUND 7
