Gunning 2 day
Get your entries in for the Gunning Two Day ASAP. There’s 154km of racing over two days for the higher grades and 104km for E, F, G, Tandem. Total cost is $35. All of this with a lunch thrown in!
Challenge a friend to race. The three race format will give you bragging rights for the whole year!
Racing starts at 10 am on Saturday. With the time bonuses and the Prolog weekend racing will be all about strategy.
After all the efforts to reschedule the race I would love to see as many members racing as possible.
Track racing on again
Whilst the Criterium series remains ever popular (and rightly so) I encourage members to come out and try a track race or two. Racing in on Wednesdays at the “Bundahdome” in Narrabundah. As I found out when I started track last year, there’s lot’s of support at the races themselves. If it’s lack of a track bike that sets you back we can probably arrange a loaner. I’m personally using a steel framed messenger bike with a few mods that works well and cost next to nothing.
Committee Positions
I”ve only had a minimal amount of interest in the Women’s Participatation Advisor and the Promotions Officer. I’m going to close the nominations for these positions in one week. Please email me if interested. I’m particularly interested in someone to help the committee and I promote the club.
