The 2009 Junior and Women's Canberra Tour will be held over the period Fri 3 July to Sun 5 July 2009.
Roads closed for racing
The 2008 will be raced over roads closed to traffic and with speed limits on the roads reduced to 60 kph for those local people who need access to their homes. This is a major safety enhancement but has meant major changes to the courses and timings for some grades. Check out the Stage & Results section of the website for the new courses and timings.
Changes to format
In 2008 the Open Women and Under 19 Men and Women's categories tour will include a Criterium on Saturday afternoon. The Tour for these categories will now be a four stage tour but the distance for the Saturday Road Race has been reduced to allow the addition to the program of the extra criteriums.
2008 will also see the introduction of a more flexible race format for the Open Women and Under 19 Men and Women's categories. Riders will be able to choose to enter the Tour and race for GC, KOM and stage honours or enter individual stages and race only in stages of their choice. This option has not been extended to other Junior categories who will still need to enter the Tour and race all stages.
Women's B Grade
A late development for the Tour will see a Women's B Grade being offered in 2008. See the event entry page for further details.
AWD Time Trial
Race organisers also plan to offer the opportunity for AWD athletes to participate in a Time Trial on Sunday afternoon following the last of the JM17 riders. Detailed planning is still required but it is anticipated that the AWD Time Trial will be open to any athlete and entry will be free. Download further information here.
