It’s a big weekend in Victorian cycling with the Northern Suburbs Three Day Tour starting on Saturday morning and running through to Monday.

With a great weekend of racing ahead we preview the four stages.

The Wednesday night Essendon Cyclery (EC) shop ride is a mid-week dust off. 

For those of us who don’t get to ride every morning either on a bunch training ride, or as a commute, this is the perfect mid-week blitz around Essendon, Tullamarine, Keilor and then back to Essendon.
