Macclesfield Graded Road Race (Scratch Racing)

Course Map - https://ridewithgps.com/routes/30157167

JUNIORS, WOMENS and MENS graded road races open to ALL clubs and race licensed riders with Cycling Australia

To celebrate the first day of Spring Norwood CC are running the Macclesfield Spring Classic road race. This is the last opportunity to race a graded road race before the CSA Super Series kicks off. So get your team together, get nominated. as they say 'train to race, race to train'.

This is a true classic course, its got some undulations (crit riders read climbing) but with a lumpy profile and a fast pedalling decent it would be a brave strong rider, that goes solo early. Course has not been raced for a few years, but is back thanks to race director Karl Evans.
