Delivered by Bicycling Australia, the Mudgee Classic will offer three courses, The Maxi Classic - a 170 kilometre ride, The Challenge Classic - a 110 kilometre race and The Social Classic - a 35 kilometre ride.

Event founder, James Yaffa says Mudgee was an obvious destination for the event that has been inspired on the back of ongoing success of the Bowral Classic, Noosa Classic and Clare Classic, all of which are in their second year and above.

"Mudgee is a bustling region that meets our criteria in selecting new destinations for our Gran Fondo Cycling events," he said.

While competitors usually sit in the 40 to 65 demographic, Yaffa says the event is 'most certainly' a family activity.

"The event will attract competitive riders, however the majority of participants will attend with partners and their family," he said.

The second NSW-based cycling event for Bicycling Australia will start in Church Street at 7am, with riders finishing up at Lawson Park.

"I personally thank Destination NSW, Mid-Western Council and the support of our commercial partners and the amazing Mudgee community," Yaffa said.
