Scratch Race - South of Tharwa - Saturday 30 June 2012, 1pm start
Gear up for the Tour de France by doing this Graded Scratch Race. This is the same course as the ACT Road Championships – so well worth using this race in preparation for the Road Champs on 25 August.
The course will start from the model airplane field just south of Tharwa village. Riders will ride south to the intersection with Apollo Road and return to the model airplane field for the completion of one lap. The loop is approximately 18 km.
MA, MB, MC, WA will do 3 laps (54 kms) and MD, MC, WB, WC will do 2 laps (36 kms). Racing for juniors will be provided and is likely to be one lap (18kms) but this will be determined on the day depending on the ages and abilities of riders.
Competitors may park at Tharwa rest area, near the bridge and ride to the course, or at the National Park visitor’s centre. Cars parked near the start/finish should be well clear of the registration area and start/finish line and not obscure temporary traffic signs. At the start/finish area there must be a clear line of sight for riders, officials and other road users.

Call For Volunteers
Yes it’s that time of year again. The DBR Canberra Junior & Women’s Tour will be held over the period Friday 6 July to Sunday 8 July 2012
I have had a trickle of volunteers come through but it’s now time to get serious. I need everyone’s help to provide a safe and successful event.
This year will be one of our most exciting. The Women’s race is again a part of the National Road Series, this means that SBS will be there to film highlights for broadcast on Cycling Central!

Green exercise- Promoting outdoor fitness
I am currently studying a Bachelor of Applied Science in psychology (Honours) at the University of Canberra, Australia. My honours project is titled " Green Exercise, Stress and Mood: The Role of Cognitions and Connectedness to Nature " Green exercise can include any physical activity undertaken in relatively natural outdoor locations. This is relatively new field for psychology and sports science and has many future implications, including land and school planning, policy development, and mental health outcomes.
As a part of my research, I am seeking to survey a number of pre-existing outdoor exercise groups before and after an exercise session. I am interested in attending one or more of your group exercise sessions to conduct a brief pre-post survey of participants. Participation is entirely voluntary, and all information is anonymous and confidential. The study has been approved by the University of Canberra human ethics committee (Project # 12-54). It is expected the survey will take a total of approximately 20 minutes, which will consist of one 10 minute survey being completed before the exercise and one 10 minute on completion of the exercise.
If you are interested in participating, or you would like further information, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you. I can be contacted on 0403261816 or u3023825@uni.Canberra.edu.au
