Northern Combine
The Northern Combine is the association of the 10 Cycling Clubs in the northern suburbs of Melbourne. The association organizes the road racing season each year, ensuring the necessary permits are obtained. Races are conducted weekly through the road racing season. All circuits are loops where multiple laps may be conducted so the A grade race is around 80km in total length. In all profiles, only one lap of the circuit is detailed.
