Canberra Off-Road Cyclists are set to host the ACT State XCO Championship at Stromlo Forest Park on Sunday November 25.
Teenage duo Zoe Cuthbert and Corey Smith will race in the junior category having already represented Australia during this year's world championships in XCO in Lenzerheide in Switzerland earlier this year.
It is their next chance to impress as they look to force their way back onto the world stage for next year's world championships with the new year just around the corner.
The state championships are expected to entice riders from both the capital territory and interstate to compete in a host of categories from under 13s up to the masters for riders aged over 60, with a host of junior and elite categories in between.
