Anyone interested in going down to the Pemberton Classic this year? Both the crits on Saturday Feb 27th and the road race on Sunday February 28th (the long weekend) are on scenic but challenging courses. The road circuit of 33 km contains a reasonable hill of about a kilometre that helps to separate the sheep from the goats (and the rest of it is merely undulating). A,B and C grades are on offer for the men and A and B grades for women. A chance for a cycling weekend away.
Information is here:
Pemberton Classic
Enjoy the picturesque town of Pemberton. Experience towering karri forests, cool bubbling streams, steep river valleys cloaked in winter mist. http://www.pembertonclassic.org.au/ or http://www.westernaustralia.com/en/Destinations/Australias_South_West/Pemberton/Pages/Pemberton.aspx for more information.
Contact Northern Districts for accomodation: simon.proud@arcadio.com.au or maybe we could use the motel used last year.

Im interested for sure.
lorraine did have some accomodation kind of organised, but they kind of forgot and have taken bookings already. if we get some quick responses via the comments to this post, then we can try to organise a group accomodation again.
i am in too.
The Old Picture Theatre Apartments overlooked the arrangements I had made to rebook so I am very sorry to disappoint those of you who were looking forward to going there again this year 🙁
The Pemberton Classic is a fantastic weekend of racing and well worth the trip down. Even though I was a complete newbie last year, I had a great time with the SPR crew and would highly recommend it!
The crit course is great for those who like a bit of a power climb thrown in and the road race is very scenic… especially up Pump Hill 😉
