One week until Summer Series Race 3

If you liked the BBQ and soft drinks at the last race, we are looking for two volunteers to run it this time around – all they’ll need to do is cook and accept donations, BBQ, BBQ gear and food will be brought up by the club.

Other volunteers required for the race will be:

  • two road marshals on the day
  • two sign on volunteers on the day – handing out race packs
  • one track set up for Friday 14th

All volunteers will receive a sausage, drink and a free, transferable race entry – i.e. your friend, relative, third detached cousin from interstate, can use it so longs as they’re a MTBA member (other wise there’s a $20 race license fee for insurance purposes).

Contact racevolunteers@ambc.asn.au if you’re interested.

Don’t forget to register for the race by 10am Saturday! If you have any issues, send an email to timing@ambc.asn.au.

There will be a course pre ride on Saturday 15th at 8:15am at the main gate off the old freeway. You MUST be registered for the race in order to attend. Please register your interest by emailing timing@ambc.asn.au by 8:00pm, Fri 14th.

General Summer Series information is here.

There is also currently a petition making the rounds regarding enforcing a minimum distance while overtaking cyclists. The club will have a number of petition sheets for people to sign at the registration desk at this race and the next summer series race. More information is available on the Amy Gillett Foundation website.
