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

CCC will be conducting a pre-Criterium Season junior training session on Wed 2nd October. This is a great opportunity for junior racers to refresh their skills and for newcomers to have a go and see how much they could enjoy racing at the CCC Summers Crits.

The session will be split with the first half covering all ages, and all levels of experience and will focus on handling skills. The second half will be for U11 and above where we will up the pace and focus on race skills.

The session is run by Canberra Cycling Club volunteers and accredited coaches.
