As I mentioned a coupld of days ago, I’ve got a busy weekend on the way. I’ll be helping out with the Scody Tour de Perth as part of the commentary team.
I know that some people are confusing the Tour de Perth with the Perth Criteriums but they are separate events. (I know that becuase I’m getting quite a few hits on this site from people looking for ‘Perth Criteriums’.) The Perth Criteriums will be held again early in 2010. While the Tour de Perth involves one criterium, there’s a whole lot more to it.
Tour de Perth will bring first class cycle racing to the streets of Perth on Friday evening and across the weekend.
Western Australia’s premier road cycling event, the Tour de Perth, will have a new beginning in 2009. The Tour’s four stages will take in high profile central city locations ideal for spectators and media coverage. A highlight will be strong competition between teams and individual competitors from across Australia to take out the National Road Series.
There’ll be local, interstate and international cyclists battling it out for honours over the three days.
I spoke to one of the organisers, Matt Bisset, on my radio programme yesterday morning. You can hear Matt’s explanation of the event by clicking the play button on the audio player at the bottom of this post.
There’ll be a number of cycling related events happening around the tour, including a Festival of Cycling. Details are at the official website.
