Need an address for e-mail first. I think it'd be useful if you sent me an e-mail so that I can reply? My address is:

Nick:

I tried the ACT Cycling Federation website yesterday. I also tried websites for two or three other clubs. The info was all related to races. Calenders were also all about race events. Nothing about social rides or training etc.

I was a memeber of ACT Pedal Power for a year. Then again it seemed to be on the other extreme as it was mostly about lobbying or fun-rides. I guess I'm interested in seeing something in between. Maybe there is more to the above clubs, but to find out, a memeber can help better than the website. Website is a good starting point, though. Thanks.

Amir.

Yep, I'm from the 'berra. I don't belong to any local cycling clubs, though!

Sigi

I know of no club that offers something in between. If I want a hard touring ride, I go by myself
or with friends. Some of the training rides of racing clubs are going to be about as close as
you'll get...

I posted from my email address just like I am now. Feel free to reply to it if you need any
further info.

FWIW just go to any search engine and type in Pedal Power ACT. They are a great organisation with
tons of resources and links available as well as organising some rather good rides.

For MTBing in Canberra try Majura Pines which is accessible off MacKenzie St in Hackett. Deek's
Forest Park has just reopened as well after fire damage in January. Kowen Forest outside Queanbeyan
has some great riding - it is also the site of the MONT 24hr race later on this year.

For road riding - Canberra has tons of cycle paths - these are marked on the street directory.

Real road riding (ie: on roads rather than cycle paths) - I am not crazy enough to chance that very
often but I would advise that you stay off the Tuggeranong Parkway for safety reasons.

Oh yeah - and the magpies have started swooping here so look out!

there's the longriders which are associated with pedal power, oddly enough they're into longer rides
and attract some harder riders.

and Sunday 26th October is Fitz's Challenge
