The Tour of the North and Townsville Cycle Club would like to extend our gratitude to Tiny Mountain Brewery for their support of cycling in Townsville for the last two years 👏🙌

Although the Brewery itself may disappear from everyday Townsville life, it’s memory will always remain alive as our inaugural primary sponsors.

Thanks for the memories 🥰

This post is for the Volunteers (Sponsors Posts to follow...)

Both of the Tours are done and the Club couldn't be happier with the positive comments and feedback we have already recieved. This would not have been possible without our Army of volunteers across the two days of competition and the pre and post-event works. They say many hands make light work, and this was definitlely the case for the weekend.

Thanks go to the Commissaires; Melinda Allen Neil Hamey Dannie Ormonde, Matt Harris, Mark McDonald, Marcus Monteith, Glenys Hyser, Greg Pankhurst, Mandy Doolan and Stephen Lane.

Thank you to our Drivers, Holders, road race Sprint and KOM recorders; Simon Ormes, Gary Smedley, Darren Spina, Damien Damian Crocker (and the doggo), Dave Radford, Dan Ellis, Dan Miller and the Comms mentioned above.

Thank you to our Assistants with toilet drops, barrier construction, pick ups, deliveries and sign ons across the two days; Ethan Harris, Stephanie Launer, Richard Launer and Emma Doolan

The Committee were the back bone of this tour, and the many meetings and late night messaging to get this underway was much appreciated, including their willingness to not only compete, but also to help on the day with all the above tasks. It is a testament to the family environment we are trying to promote. If you have a special shout out to someone that made a difference to you on the weekend, please do so!

All results will be online, including overall GC, KOM and Sprint Classifications for the Senior Grades. The start lists for Castle Hill climb will be posted after the completion of the Crit. This will place bunches of riders in waves according to overall placing in each grade. U9/11/13 will be doing a half Castle only. U15 and above will contest a full Castle Hill climb. Parents will be allowed to drive up to the second most top car park, there will not be any car parking at the very top, as space is limited, as these parks are for the officials.

Massive thank you to all of our Commissaires and Volunteers for a mammoth effort today. It was also terrific to see our sponsors out there getting involved in the racing.

Lastly, can everyone please indicate on the event page for the after party that they are attending so we can give them an estimate for catering purposes please. Sleep well everyone, and see you all tomorrow (don't stay up late watching the Tour).
