Saturday 28 October - Workshop
Open to all women 13 years* and above. All participants are required to bring their own bicycles.
9:30am to 12noon (Registration 9:00am)
An exciting weekend for the women's beginner cyclists. Saturday morning will be a relaxed/hands-on workshop at Jurong West Stadium where participants will be able to learn / refine their cycling skills and understand some of the basics of racing including safety and strategy.
The morning will be hosted by Singapore Cycling Federation as well as coaches and women's cycling ambassadors from some of the cycling world's brands.
The idea of the morning is to have fun, ask silly questions and ride (just a little). The workshop will end with an optional short ride to a cafe for lunch which will be sponsored also.
Sunday 29 October - URA CFS Criterium Races
Beginner Race: Open to all women 13 years* and above.

Volunteers and Sponsors
These are non-profit events with any excess funds going towards supporting the sharetheroad.sg . We will be asking for the support of the larger cycling community to assist. We really need the support of the community in terms of volunteers as well as sponsors (monetary or product)
While the event is early, the streets are well lighted, so we hope the Singapore cycling community will come down and support / cheer on their fellow riders. It's only through showing that we have a vibrant and sharing cycling scene, will more opportunities come to the competitive cycling scene.
