FIT Cycling – 2018 program – Females in Training ACT

Our cycling program for 2018 is ready to roll! In addition to the regular training groups, we will run two programs in early 2018. Members may also be training for various events across the year (list below).

Members interested in staying ‘in the loop’ can join the FIT Cycling Basecamp (link via Newflash, or contact Emma). There is usually brekky organised somewhere after every ride.
