Many thanks to the Pasque family and all sponsors for their continued support of junior cyclists.
For anyone wanting to give road race cycling a go, all that is needed is a Cycling Australia licence and a rear light on your bike.
Entry is just $3 per junior rider which becomes prize money, distributed at the end of the season.
Some small race bikes are available for loan to get riders started; some begin on their own mountain bikes and are given an easier handicap.
Senior riders are often on course to encourage juniors and offer tips to help juniors ride safely.
The junior events are open to riders aged 7-16 years.
