The Walker, Kelly and McKay Juniors Skills session will be the perfect lead into the 2015 Northern Combine Criterium Champs, to be held for the first time, and also on the famous (or tortuous) Yarra Boulevard teardrop circuit. The Crit Champs will be on immediately following the skills session.

For those of you more used to racing there on a Wednesday evening, racing in daylight on this course should be a cracker!
