Junior Presentation afternoon and end-of-season social gathering - The Rock Reserve, Saturday September 17th at 12pm.
BBQ lunch supplied and a climb up The Rock for those who are keen. Come and join the fun!
We are planning a group
ride to The Rock for those who are interested, from the Bruce's house at 32 Beckwith St leaving around 9.30am. We will ride via Malabo hill to Collingullie (about 36kms -
arriving at around 11.15am). We will then pick up some riders at Collingullie hotel for the last 25 km to The Rock (arriving about 12 noon).
We are happy to pick up riders closer to The Rock for those who are unable to do 25kms but if these are younger riders (ie under 15yrs rider) they will
need a parent to ride with them. For those who do not want to ride out we will see you there for the BBQ and possibly climbing the rock.
There will be no organised ride home.
If raining we will hold the presentation at the Music bowl undercover area at the botanical gardens.
BBQ provided - please bring chairs and something to share.

Congratulations to all the Wagga Juniors (and their parents) that braved the freezing Canberra conditions over the weekend at Mount Stromlo park for the Canberra Junior Tour. Wagga was well represented by Rebel Brooker in the U9Girls, Lachlan Scott in the U13Boys, Jake Brooker, Saxon Hodges, Greg Westerman, Chris Powell and Cameron Scott in the U15Boys, Beth Rees in U15Girls, Harry Rees in U17Men and Jeremy Scott in U19Men. All categories competed in an Individual Time Trial, 2 Road Races and a Criterium. The weekend made for very challenging riding in the cold and windy conditions.
Special mention should be made of Rebel Brooker who was successful in winning all her races and consequently the GC for U9. Lachlan Scott performed consistently and, with his convincing win in Sunday's Road Race took out 2nd place in the GC. Cameron Scott won 3 out of 4 races to also gain 2nd in the GC for U15Boys. Well done to all competitors.
