The Shire Shout has reached the pointy end with final places determined this weekend. Photo supplied

The Autumn Shire Shoot cycling series featuring riders from the Ballina and Byron Bay cycling clubs comes to a head this Sunday with a criterium in the Arts and Industry estate.

Byron Bay Cycling Club members Marco Goldberg (29 points), David Scully (26), and Matt Jones (25) sit at the top of the leader board with just one race in the series remaining.

Richard Brown is Ballina Bicycle Club’s best-placed rider in fourth spot on 23 points.

Over 60 cyclists have competed in the event so far, with plenty left to ride for in the last round this weekend.

‘It is far from over just yet,’ Ballina Bicycle Club spokesman Andrew Downey said.

Action from 7am Sunday morning at Byron Bay’s Arts and Industry Estate.
