After a late
finish the night before the cyclists will get under way from the
Wollongong Mall at 10.30am on a 106 km trek to Nowra.
It is a tough and
unrelenting stage with some of the tough climbs of the tour. The fast
and undulating early part of the stage is tough in its own right before
the cyclists encounter Jamberoo Pass which climbs steeply before levelling
out to the Illawarra Highway.
There is little let
off as the riders race through to Robertson and then to Fitzroy Falls
before descending to Kangaroo Valley and the final climb up Camberwarra
Mountains. The final 12 kilometres is fast into Nowra with the cyclists
descending virtually most of the way.
Small groups form
along the way and the racing is very enthralling.
Jono Hall has split
the field on occasions but the past few years there have been
small leading groups forming at the head of the race. The race
this year will finish adjacent to Harry Sawkins Park.
