Good afternoon all, we have our final WICEN events for the year coming up on Sunday 28 October. Unfortunately there is a clash with 2 events on the same day which is stretching our current personnel resources. Currently we are still short of a number of volunteers for both events.
The Fitz Challenge is a long distance cycling event (total distance of up to 255km) were we provide safety monitoring checkpoints at various locations along the course. The course will be through Namadgi National Park and Paddys River Rd Tidbinbilla. The course is similar to previous years with checkpoints at Tharwa, Rendezvous Creek, Orroral Valley, Fitz Hill, Honeysuckle Creek, Corin Forest, Kangaroo Creek and Uriarra plus a headquarters station at Stromlo Cycle Park .
The Witwood carriage driving event is another horse event where the participants drive small carriages behind horses (often barely bigger than the drivers) around a variety of obstacles. It takes place out on the Witwood property which is located half way between Bungendore and Braidwood.
This year we have moved to using google forms to collect & collate responses rather than relying on emailed responses - as such can I ask if you can check your calendars for your availability and complete the form at the following link, noting your preferences for times and places:

On submission / successful completion of the form, you should get an email confirming the form has been submitted and a link to your response. If you do experience any issues with the form (or don't get an email from google forms) then please let us know via the wicen@crarc.ampr.org mailto:wicen@crarc.ampr.org email address. If you have already responded to this form, then no further action is required, but if you are interested then please fill in the form with advice on your availability as we are still substantially short of volunteers to support these events.
