March 04, 2012 (Ottawa, ON) – The members of the National Capital Region cycling bursary committee are proud to announce the 13th annual bursary recipients. The bursary provides funding to athletes that display both outstanding athletic ability and the desire to achieve greater goals.  Since its inception in 2000 the bursary has granted a total of nearly $30,000 to more than 30 athletes. Continued success of the bursary is only possible thanks to the strong support of our contributors, which include:

– The Cyclery
– The A-group in the Gatineau Park
– The Ontario Cycling Association
– The Ottawa Bicycle Club
– More than 50 smaller groups and participants in the Seenite Sports weekly criterium series who each contribute anything from $10 to more than $100 every year

The 2012 recipients are:
– Jamie Riggs – $1,400
– Kiernan Orange – $900
– Nina Nesdoly – $500

We would like to thank all the sponsors for their generous contributions that enable these athletes to have both the confidence of support and the financial means to compete at events beyond the local area.  More information about the bursary is available HERE.
