UPCOMING RACING

The Apollo – graded scratch race – Saturday 27 April from 1330 AEST

One of the club’s classic races is this Saturday – The Apollo graded scratch race. The race will begin on Apollo Road near the T-junction with Naas Road, with the finish at the Honeysuckle Creek campground.

Racers will turn on to Naas Road, ride approximately 9km including over Mount Tennent, u-turn near the aero model club, for a return 9km over Mt Tennent before turning right on to Apollo Road, with around a further 9km to the finish.

Riders who park at the Honeysuckle Creek campground can wear extra clothing for the descent to the start, with this gear collected and brought to the finish.

Thanks to race director Peta Brill, ETC Ben Healy, ETC Brian Peak, marshal Jonathan Chowns and van driver David Gunther for volunteering their time to help the club run the event.

The race is a graded scratch event. Race registration cut-off is 11:30 on Saturday 27 April, cost is $10.
You need to register by looking up the calendar entry in the RMS https://rms.crmcc.org.au/calendar
You must wear your CRMCC assigned race number to race.
Late registrations will be assessed by Race.committee@crmcc.org.au and if allowed, a late fee of $10 will be applied.
If you are unregistered and show up to the start, you must convince a committee member (not the Race Director) of your club member financial status for insurance purposes, before being allowed to participate.

UPDATE ON GUNNING – race for 4 May cancelled

The race committee has had to cancel the Gunning-Breadalbane road event scheduled for 4 May.
There was uncertainty that the club would have received the necessary approvals before the race date of 4 May. Also, waning interest in road racing among club members has meant it might be much effort for little reward.

The committee will discuss whether to reschedule the event for later in 2024.
