Hosking Junior Bunch

Calling All Juniors at Canberra CC, Vikings CC and Canberra Off Road Cyclists.

CCC has partnered with club member and cycling legend Chloe Hosking to organise a regular Juniors’ ride.

Every second Monday Chloe will host the Juniors on an appropriately paced 29km ride around Mt Ainslie and Majura starting at 630 am from The Pedlar and heading north through Reid, Ainslie and Watson before returning via the Majura bike path to finish with a climb up Mt Pleasant. The group will then return to the Pedlar for an approx 730 finish.

New riders

We welcome new riders to the bunch.

If you are the parent of a junior who is interested in giving cycling a go then this group is for you.

Each week Chloe will conduct a quick roll call and briefing for new riders before the ride commences.
