CCC Women's Update

Wow – what a past couple of months! It is hard to believe that it has been over a month since I have last updated this page and boy has a lot happened since then! Whilst we are all trying to keep warm in the somewhat unnecessarily cold conditions we’re experiencing in the Nation’s Capital, our CCC women are still busy dominating on both the National and International racing circuits! This is a brief run down on what has been the last month racing wise...

Wagga Junior Tour Race Report

Canberra Cycling Club Juniors descended into Wantabadgery in droves to compete in the 15th Wagga Wagga Junior Tour. 25 Canberra Cycling Club juniors registered for the event and were well represented across most age groups except U9 and U11.

The tour comprised four stages, with a prologue time trial (Stage 1), followed by a road race (Stage 2) on day one and two road races on Day two (stages three and four). Many of the ACT riders were part of the CCC Junior Development Program coached by John Armstrong. It was also great to see the coach out there on the first day providing guidance to all of the riders prior to their races.

Symonston Street Crit - Race Results

Overall it was a great turn out for the even with 105 riders! More encouragingly there was a strong turn out from our junior riders with 10 riders competing in the specific 'junior' grade and a few more opting to ride in ME/MD grade. This is no doubt a reflection of the great work that Jessica is doing with our junior riders!

The highlight of the afternoon was probably the MA/MB grade. With a large field combined of close to 40 riders, the committee decided that if we were to conduct a race here again that we should schedule time to race the grades separately. Despite the numbers, the field still managed to handle themselves well on the course - without crashes!

Unfortunately we did have 2 crashes in both the Junior and MC grade. In the Junior grade Jesse Hopkins feel and took some skin off but was OK. In MC grade, Steve Calabria came down quite hard and as a suspected broken wrist - has anyone heard anything from him? From what i am aware, Tim Ward took some details and filled a report.

All in all it was a great race and from the feedback we got from the riders they all seemed to enjoy it to! I think we should definitely try and schedule a race on this circuit again!!!!

Big thank you to Jason, Peter, David and Jess for helping out over the weekend!
