22.01.2022 What does our cycling community and a road construction company have in common? They both have vulnerable members of their organisation out on the road. Like any cyclist, when driving past the crew at Shaw Contracting give them a thumbs up and drive safely to ensure they return home to their loved ones. As in life, we are all in this together and should look after each other. Check out the Shaw Contracting project tomorrow on the way to the race at Railton. We are certainly g...rateful for the generous sponsorship from the Shaw Contracting team. All the race day information for the Shaw 1000 is available on the Cycling Tasmania website. See you all at the race! https://cycling.org.au/tas/shaw-1000 See more

10.01.2022 To all Cycling Tasmania Members, Over recent weeks there has been considerable discussion generated on the Cycling Tasmania Facebook that has been discouraging and detrimental to fostering a collaborative and supportive environment.

These include nominating for a Member Club Committee position, become a Commissaire, Volunteer, or gain a Coaching or Cycling Instructor accreditation.
