The Junior Novice Program is aimed at bringing junior riders into the world of road and track cycling and racing.
The program will be run over six weeks and will introduce juniors aged 10-16 years old to bike safety, bunch riding skills, and race tactics.
Sessions will be held at Stromlo Forest Park on Thursday afternoons from 4:30pm-5:30pm every week. From week 3 an participants will be able to join the track session at Narrabundah velodrome on Mondays from 4:30-5:30 (track bikes are available to borrow).
The program is perfect for juniors who:
- Are aged between 10 and 16 years old
- Want to get in to cycling but don’t know where to start
- Have a bike (road or mountain bike is OK) and Australian Standards approved helmet
- Can ride a bike but are keen to improve skills and confidence
- Would like to give a race a go when they are ready.
When: Session 1 is on 13 November, and the final session is 18 December (options for continuation will be discussed during the program).
Cost: Free, thanks to the generous support of Bright Consulting.
