Canberra Bilbys Triathlon Club

Canberra Bilbys Triathlon Club Canberra's biggest and friendliest triathlon club! Interested in joining? Check out our website www.bilbys.org!

Canberra Bilbys Triathlon Club is friendly club catering for complete beginners and seasoned triathletes alike. The club has grown year after year and has around 350 members, including 80 new novices each year which make us the biggest triathlon club in Canberra. The Bilbys began in 1987 in Canberra, Australia, when a group of individuals (mainly firemen) formed an informal training group to pursu

e their goals in the sport of triathlon. The club takes its name from the Bilby, an Australian marsupial (noted for its speed, cunning and agility - NOT!) according to our founding members). We have a year round training schedule, including regular running, swimming, cycling and mountain biking sessions, which caters for all abilities as well as a hugely popular novice program which is run each year just before the race season. We also have a number of members who organise informal training session for orienteering, rogaining and adventure races. The club also organises a number of social events for members, such as the annual cocktail party, club races and post-race get togethers.

Today our regular cycling bunch has been involved in an incident on Gungahlin Drive which has resulted in the death of one of our members and injuries to others.

Our club is devastated by these events. Our club is made up of people who love the sport of triathlon, who love getting out there and doing their best, and who support each other through the highs and lows that come with competing in a challenging sport and belonging to a community club. Today, and in the coming weeks and months, that support will be more important than ever.

At this time, the identity of our deceased member has not been released as police work with the family.

While some other members of our club were injured and members of the club were present during this incident, we will not be commenting on the circumstances of the accident due to the ongoing police investigation.

However, this tragic incident is a reminder of the vulnerability of cyclists and pedestrians when compared to a motor vehicle, and we ask this to be a reminder to all drivers, cyclists and pedestrians sharing the roads to exercise a little patience, and remember that all of us just want to get home safely.

Reminder that it's not too late to sign up for our session this Thursday all about super shoes!

Super shoes have changed the face of running. Do you wonder what the difference is between these shoes and the older style shoes? Do you wonder why some people seem to run exceptionally fast in them while others don't respond? Coach Jimmy will explain the how and why of these shoes along with a show of some of the newer styles from the Runners Shop.

When: Thursday 9th July 6:30pm
Where: Downer Community Centre, West Hall
