Aussie 24-hour championships this weekend

Australia's elite endurance riders will compete over the weekend in the Australian solo 24-hour championships, to be held at Mt Majura, Canberra. Hosted by Canberra Off Road Cyclists (CORC), the 24-hour championships at the Innabaanya Girl Guide Camp is expected to provide spectacular racing action over a 10km circuit which climbs more than 680 meters above sea level.

There is also a 6+6 category, in which racers may chose to race only six hours on Saturday and six hours on Sunday.
