The Blue Cycles Top End Tour 2020 is a 3 stage tour comprising a Criterium, Individual Time Trial and a Road Race held over the Queen's Birthday long weekend. All stages are on private roads (i.e. not on public roads with traffic). There will be several grades to race in. All grading will be at the discretion of the organisers of the event, grading requests will be taken into account but are not guaranteed.

You can also choose to ride indivdual events. 

Junior riders should note that their bikes must adhere to roll out specifications for their age group as checks will be conducted.

All our events will ensure that the key principles of COVID-19 management are in place following NT Government guidelines.

Our sponsors are Blue Cycles who have provided prizes for first place overall in each grade, while Darwin Family Law is covering the cost of venue hire.

You will need either an annual Race Licence (Regional or National) to race which you can purchase from Cycling Australia's Membership page or a 1 week race licence. The Regional licence allows you to race in all events in the NT. See our Membership webpage for help to choose a membership type. If you need to upgrade your Ride Membership to a Race Membership you can do this by emailing the Cycling Australia Membership Team at membership@cycling.org.au or call (03) 9998 6810.
