This is an annual event on the NSW Open Road Program. Nyngan in is
the north west part of NSW and the road to Dubbo is dead-flat
and very straight which makes this race somewhat difficult
for riders. The only other problem that arises is the susceptibility
of the course to wind, particularly cross-winds.
The race is a handicap event. Race distance - 160 kms:1. Peter Milostic (Penrith Panthers) 3.58.36 ** 2. Eddie Salas (Penrith Panthers) 3. Henk Vaassen (Sutherland) 4. Darrell Wheeler (Dubbo) 5.
