"Hello,
Just a reminder that entries are now open for this year's Tour de Femme.
The Tour de Femme is a women’s-only twenty kilometre ride that doubles as both a race and a participation event. In 2009 it will be held on Sunday 8th November. Many of Australia’s top female riders have competed in previous events and are expected to return this year. Previous winners have included Oenone Wood, Alison Wright, Kim Palmer and Tracey Gaudry. There are a range of age divisions with separate prizes that are hotly contested each year.
In addition to those interested in racing, the Tour de Femme attracts a large number of participants who treat it as a ‘fun-run’ on wheels. More than 700 women competed in 2008. Everyone who enters by the closing date will receive a T-shirt and a water bottle. It is not necessary to have a club or open racing licence to enter. Riders from teens to those in their eighties participate.
Race starts at 9am on Sunday 8th November and registration is from 4pm to 6pm on Saturday 7th November at Stromlo Forest Park.
Full details can be found at the Canberra Cycling Club website: www.canberracyclingclub.org.au
Thanks,
Jason Parkes"
