CORC Cyclocross Round 1 2020

Round 2 of the CORC Cyclocross Series 2020 will be held in Stromlo. Note that due to the current COVID situation we are limiting entries to local riders only, meaning riders that live in ACT and the surrounding area (Queanbeyan). The course will be very similar to last race, but run in reverse. Unfortunately the mulchy hills are out, but we will add some new features.
