Kelly Country Classic

Northeast Health Wangaratta & Wangaratta Bicycle User Group present the

Sunday 7th November 2010

Glenrowan Reserve, Old Hume Highway, Glenrowan

It will be 'kerb-to-kerb' lycra in Glanrowan's main street on Sunday 7th November, when cyclists again converge on the town, for the 2010 Kelly Country Classic. Following in the footsteps of the legendary Kelly Gang, the ride will start and finish in Glenrowan, with the choice of four routes designed to suit a range of rider abilities and fitness levels.

Following in the footsteps of the legendary Kelly Gang who roamed the region in the 1880's cyclists will pedal past vineyards, farm gates and historic villages with strong links to the Kelly story. All rides willl start and finish in Glenrowan, a town that resonates with the raw, bittersweet memory of Australia's most famous bushranger and his gang.

This year sees the continuation of the "Ned Kelly Challenge", a gruelling 210km ride that leaves Glenrowan and heads over the Warby Ranges before joining the 150km ride route. If you're looking for a personal challenge this is definately the ride for you. On completion of this strenuous ride, participants will be issued with a limited edition commemorative t-shirt to wear with pride.

The difficult 150km "Dan Kelly Ride" will cover Kelly Country from Glenrowan to Winton, Lurg, Benalla East, Tatong, Molyhullah, Moyhu, Greta and back to Glenrowan. Still challenging, but not quite so arduous, riders can choose the 100km "Joe BuyrneJaunt" from Glenrowan to Lurg, Myrrhee, Moyhu and returning to Glenrowan. The 50km "Steve Hart Spree" option will take cyclists from Glenrowan to Greta, Moyhu and back to the town made famous by the Kelly Gang's Last Stand.
