Nyngan - Dubbo, 160 kms:
This is the 30th running of this classic 160 kms handicap race. The "Nyngan" is a
unique race in that it has no bends or hills for the first 120kms and the last 40kms
has only slight undulations and bends. It is one of those races you either love or
hate. Usually the riders have southerly cross winds to contend with but this
year's race was run in overcast, almost windless conditions which suited the limit
bunches, with the top 14 places being taken by the riders in the 28 minute bunch.
