CHICKS IN THE STICKS 2023
SAVE THE DATE: Sunday, 20th August 2023
Time to start thinking about this year’s Chicks in the Sticks! It’s not far away, and we all know how quickly an event can start to loom large.
This year’s CITS will be back at Karingal, our new (from last year) home. The course will remain unchanged this year, to provide those who rode last year an opportunity to measure their progress on familiar territory. The plan, at this stage, is to run a two-year cycle. Every second year will give you a little something new to challenge yourself. Every other year will remain the same, so that you can throw down and beat your former self.
Get in early with your entries this year, so that you can take advantage of both early bird prices and limited T-shirt availability
The first 50 registrations get a FREE T-shirt!
- Early Bird Prices end 6th of August 2023.
Also stay tuned to this website or the Facebook page for upcoming details of recce rides, so you can ride the loop (on private land) before race day.
