wild west bike tour geraldton

the spokes cycle club in geraldton and the local geraldton police station have come together to run a 2 day 4 stage cycling event.  this event aims to raise money for police legacy in their support of surviving families of deceased police officers.

this is primarily a cyclo style event with the majority of the stages being run in a team format.  the first stage contains some sections of gravel so you can test yourself as a spring classics rider (it will be interesting if it is wet).  stage 2 is a criterium around a park in geraldton while stage 3 is back to the team cyclo-style.  stage 4 is a last minute hill climb for individual riders. 

reading the rules, it seems that not all riders need to be on the road at any one time.  therefore, you can have riders resting in the team car if needed.

this is an event aimed at the serious recreational rider and therefore you do not need to have a full racing licence to enter.
