Womens' Cycling in Canberra - Want to get involved?

We'd love to have you!

Cycling can be a daunting sport for newcomers! More and more women are taking up cycling as a sport, but it can still be quite overwhelming turning up to a cycling event for the first time. If you have questions or are not sure where to start, please contact the Vikings Women's Development Officer by sending an email to women@vikingscycling.org.au

Local racing is for everyone. You don’t need to be a super athlete to try a local race. The challenge and training benefits you can get from local racing are a fun way to vastly improve your fitness, bike skills and contact with other cyclists including other Women riders.

We are currently trying to learn more about how we can best support and encourage Women in cycling sport and local racing. Please take the time to complete our short, ten question survey here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/FKSJKWX

New riders can get comfortable with riding in one of our regular bunch rides, and can also meet other new cyclists. A good place to start is signing up to the Vikings Forums http://www.vikingscyclingforum.org.au/forum/ and visiting the section called Training Rides in the ACT. If it's your first time, post a message a few days beforehand introducing yourself and noting that you are a first-timer so that we know to look out for you.

Also in Spring in the lead up to the Summer Criterium Series is the annual VCC Novice Program. Development of the 2011 Novice Program has begun, to make sure you are in the loop, sign up for the V-Mail eBulletin newsletter on the right hand side of this page.

Finally, check out our tips for Novice Cyclists.

VCC is a great club for women cyclists. We run regular novice events, are friendly and supportive and have a structured pathway for new cyclists for all abilities.
