It was Baw Baw Classic weekend and that means hundreds of racing cyclists from around Australia arrived at Warragul to tackle the famous Mt Baw Baw climb.
Rated as one of toughest climbs in Australia, the final 6.5km from the old ticket box to the Baw Baw Village is a truly brutal test of cycling and the 95km leading up to it are not easy either.
Warragul was well represented in most grades. Cy Monk was having his first A grade race and finished a creditable 21st. Cy was with the leaders at the base of the final climb but could not go with some of the best cyclists in Australia on the final climb. Brodie Talbot, who won the Tour of South Australia in the National Road Series last week, continued his good form and won the race.
Warragul's Samantha Abbott continued her great form taking victory in the C grade women's race.
Peter Dennis was second in Masters A and Leigh Hauxwell was third in Masters B. Warragul was well represented in C grade with most riders completing the race after over four hours in the saddle
