With less than two weeks until the 3<\/b>rd<\/sup><\/b> annual Bowral Classic – and with registrations closing off at noon this Friday October 12 – our junior correspondent Maizy Evans has penned her latest column from Bowral.<\/b><\/p>\n

By Maizy Evans<\/b><\/p>\n

With less than two weeks to go it’s time to put away the indoor trainer and get out and about on the roads of the Southern Highlands\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With entries still open in the Rouleurs Classic (90km) , the Challenge Classic (120km)\u00a0 <\/span>and limited places in the newest addition Velodrome Team time trial event, head over to the Bowral Classic website and get your entries in! But be quick … online registrations close at noon this Friday.<\/p>\n

Why Not Be Extra Prepared?\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

With bunch rides for men and women leaving the local coffee shop on both Saturday and Sunday why not also<\/em> head down to the Southern Highlands this weekend. It\u2019s a great chance to witness the course and snap some killer views with the locals. Or, grab a few friends together and set out on the stunning course yourself!<\/p>\n

Is Your Bike Ready?<\/b><\/p>\n

Make sure to get your bike checked over by the team at The Fixed Wheel bike shop Bowral before heading out.<\/p>\n

After grabbing your morning coffee at the local \u2018Mezza Bar\u2019 you can head out of Bowral passing through the wineries on Centennial Road, you then climb up a short pinch to the left before reaching the all famous Bendooley Hill.<\/p>\n

After heading down in to the historic town of Berrima you can either make the right hand turn to loop around Greenhill\u2019s and up Mount Misery for the 175km Maxi-Classic and climb the annual KOM\/QOM Oxley Hill or continue towards New Berrima for the other routes. Or, why not stop at one of the many Berrima cafes on your way through.<\/p>\n

\"\"Riding The Highlands<\/b><\/p>\n

After travelling towards New Berrima and heading in to Moss Vale, for the 35km Social Classic you can turn left and pick up a coffee at Moss Vale’s \u2018Highland Merchant before cruising back along the family friendly cycle path to Bowral.<\/p>\n

Alternatively you might want to tough it out and continue for the longer courses. You then\u00a0 <\/span>come to an intersection, as part of the 120km course you can take a sharp right turn and head out through Werai to Exeter and loop to Bundanoon and back or make a left turn to continue on the Rouleurs 90km course.<\/p>\n

After about 6km travelling along the rolling hills of the Illawarra highway you make a sharp left turn on to the beautiful Sheepwash Road towards Kangaloon, you then make your way through Glenquarry and in to the small town of Wildes Meadow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now here comes the challenge. Factory Hill is approximately 150m with a steep incline. After conquering Factory Hill and rolling over range road, you travel along the stunning roads of the Old South and make your way back in to Bowral.<\/p>\n

Cycling Options Abound<\/b><\/p>\n

As you can see there is a wide variety of challenges and stunning views to see whilst enjoying your ride and training for the Bowral Classic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For full route details, maps, registration and any other information check out the Bowral Classic Website<\/a> and Social Media Pages.<\/p>\n

The event is on Sunday October 21. See you here!<\/p>\n
