CJWT Reccy Ride - Juniors

---

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

We will be conducting a reconnaissance ride of the CJWT courses on Sunday 17 May at 8:00 am. Starting and finishing at The Handlebar, this will be a bunch ride reccy of the Uriarra Road courses for U13 and above.

All age groups will ride together as a bunch to the start of the course at the SFP Western car park (6km). From there, we will split into smaller bunches:

• u13 will complete the 13km out and back course
• u15 will complete the 30km out and back course
• u17 will complete the 50km out and back course

Each bunch will then return to the Handlebar to finish the ride.

We request support riders (parents, carers) to ride with each age group. Please register here using the 'Participation Ride' option.

We would also like to request a sag wagon (car) to follow each bunch. Please email ccc@canberracyclingclub if you can assist.

These sessions are run on a volunteer basis by members of the clubs.
