The South Burnett Regional Council will begin running a free 10-week program on the South Burnett Rail Trail soon to encourage more women and girls to take up cycling.<\/p>\n

The 10-week course will be run in weekly sessions by personal trainer Christian Sutton, with starting points in Kingaroy, Wondai and Murgon.<\/p>\n

It’s part of the Council\u2019s \u201cGet Out, Get Active!\u201d program, which aims to encourage residents to develop regular fitness habits.<\/p>\n

The program aims to attract as many as 40 participants and will start on Saturday, July 28.<\/p>\n

It’s open to all ages and fitness levels and participants should bring their own bikes.<\/p>\n

If they don’t have one, they can borrow one of 15 new mountain bikes and helmets the Council has bought as part of the program.<\/p>\n

Some of these bikes are equipped with baby seats to assist mothers.<\/p>\n

Riders should meet up on July 28 at:<\/strong><\/p>\n
