Welcome! The Northern Vets Cycling Club - Regular cycling racing around Launceston and Northern Tasmania.

  • A bicycle does get you there and more … And there is always the thin edge of danger to keep you alert and comfortably apprehensive. Dogs become dogs again and snap at your raincoat; potholes become personal. And getting there is all the fun. - Bill Emerson

LADIES DAY

May 20th - Bishopsbourne : Ladies Sealed Handicap

This is our 2nd Ladies Day - now established as an annual event on our racing calendar

We invite all our lady members and those considering becoming members to join us in celebrating their contribution to our club.
Ladies will race in their own bunch in a sealed handicap
( men will be the support act in a seperate GMS )


The NVCC committee has also decided to make this a charity day with all entry fees being donated to the McGrath Foundation



We encourage all to stay for the post race presentations with a BBQ provided by the TVCC
