ACT Parks and Conservation has launched a photo competition to encourage more cyclists to ride the Territory’s many nature reserve trails.
Director of ACT Parks and Conservation, Daniel Iglesias said the region had some of the best mountain biking options in the country and Spring was the perfect time to be outdoors.
“Why not combine the two by soaking up some sun and getting active with a bike ride?” Mr Iglesias asked.
“We want to encourage everyone to get out and about and share their experiences so we’ve organised a competition for people to submit a short video or some photos of their ride.”
He said an entry could simply be a lazy after-work ride along a fire trail in a local reserve or an adventure-filled mountain bike ride through the forests at Kowen — or at Australia’s number one mountain biking destination, Stromlo Forest Park.
“It might even just be a photo of people standing in front of their bike while they enjoy a beautiful sunrise in one of our reserves,” Mr Iglesias said.
“The beauty of Canberra is that our trails are so easily accessible and there are options to suit riders of all skill levels ranging from technical, downhill trails through to flat fire trails.”
The photo competition is open until 15 October and photos or short videos can be entered via the entry form on the ACT Parks and Conservation website at this PS News link, its Facebook page (@ACTParks) or direct by email to [email protected].
