2008 Kelly Country Classic - Sunday 9th November 2008

 It will be 'kerb-to-kerb' lycra in Glenrowan's main streen on Sunday 9th November, when cyclists again converge on the town, for the 2008 Kelly Country Classis.   Following in the footsteps of the legendary Kelly gang, the ride will start and finish in Glenrowan, with the choice of  three routes designed to suit a range of rider abilities and fitness levels.

Participants will have the opportunity to win a range of fantastic food, beverage, accommodation and cycling goods in lucky prize draws on the day.

The most challenging ride will cover 150km of Kelly Country, from Glenrowan to Winton, Lurg, Benalla East, Tatong, Molyullah, Moyhu, Greta and back to Glenrowan.  Still challenging, but not quite so arduous, riders can choose the 100km ride from Glenrowan to Lurg, Myrrhee, Mohyu and returning to Glenrowan.  The 50km option will take cyclists from Glenrowan to Greta, Moyhu and back to the town, made famous by the Kelly Gang's Last Stand.

Following months of planning by a dedictated team from the Wangaratta BUGS and Northeast Health Wangaratta we are ready to deliver a first class cycling event offering fabulous scenery and a safe-cycling environment.  Against the backdrop of the picturesque Kelly Country, the event promises to be a major attraction for cycling enthusiasts.

All proceeds from the ride will go towards our local hospital, Northeast Health Wangaratta to ensure high levels of quality care continue to be provided to our local community.
