Hi All,
It was a busy weekend for members. The juniors kicked off their season at Lake Alexander. Lots of training was happening, with those heading for Perth out and about as well as others targeting future IM events. The NT Cycling Championships also involved a number of our junior and senior members so it was pretty busy all round.
