SHEPPARTON is looking to be heading into another year of cycling celebrations with a number of high-class cycling events secured for the region.
AusCycling announced their 2021 calendar this week, awarding Greater Shepparton as the host city for two state BMX events.
Round 1 and Round 2 of the State Series will be held at the Shepparton BMX Track on the weekend of February 20 and 21 as well as the State Championships on October 8-10 next year.
The State Series events will see upwards of 300 entries and based on previous State Championships held in the region in 2011, 2015 and 2016 it is anticipated the event will attract in excess of 600 to 800 entries and around 2000 visitors from around Australia.
These two events are in addition to last week’s announcement of the Junior Road Nationals returning to Shepparton in September, which will see the nation’s best under-15 and under-17 cyclists descend on the region for three days of racing.
These events announcements have come off the back of the city hosting the 2019 BMX National Championships and this year’s Australian BMX National Series and UCI Supercross BMX World Cup.
