The Byron Bay Cycling Club (BBCC) will be hosting the inaugural cycling road race on closed roads at Lismore on Sunday morning, 24th of September, 2023.

The BBCC is raising money for the Rescue Helicopter Service based in Lismore, as well as attempting to provide a spectacle for the local community.

The race will be open to grades A-D. There will also be beginners and e-bike sections, in male and female, and U/18 categories. Cost is $35 or $20 for U/18.

All racers must have a race licence through AusCycling, but the good news is this is free to new riders on a four-week ‘Come and Try’ program.

There will be a breakfast BBQ at the start/finish area in Browns Creek car park from 7am. See: www.byronbaycycleclub.org.au.
