AMBCWith the Summer Series event info page getting a quick update it’s time to officially announce the 2014 Summer Series! Consisting of three races – non championship – over Jan/Feb/Mar. The races are designed to be shorter and thus faster. Race 2 being more for fun!
The first race will be held at Eagle MTB Park on 12th Jan 2014. Registration is open here.
Race start will be at 10am with sign on opening at 9am.
Check out the event page for info.
The club AGM will be held on Monday 02 Dec 2013 from 6pm for a 7pm start, held at The Hackney Hotel, 95 Hackney Road, Hackney. If you are intending on ordering a meal, (restricted a la carte menu with mains between $18-$22) please send an RSVP to secretary@ambc.asn.au
The AGM is an important event in the eyes of the club. The meeting begins with the presentation of the Clubs financial report and President report. All committee positions are then declared vacant and members are given the opportunity to stand for positions. The positions are as follows –
President – Vacant
Secretary – Vacant
Treasurer – Scott Keneally has offered to stand for this position in 2014
1. Race Director – David Knight has offered to stand for this position
2. Sponsorship – John Allison has offered to stand for this position in 2014
3. Trails Officer – Malcolm Robertson has offered to stand for this position – with assistance from new members in local council areas
4. Volunteer Co-Ordinator – Vacant
5. Juniors development co-ordinator – Vacant
6. Timing and Registration 1 – P’An-Tau Jiricek-Scott has offered to stand for this position
7. Media Co-ordinator – Vacant – NEW POSITION
GESA Race Director – Vacant
GESA Timing and registration – Dan Morgan has offered to stand for this position
Role descriptions are available here.
If any member wishes to stand for any position, then they are encouraged to let the club know either prior to, or on the night of the AGM. If more than one member steps forward for a single position, then it will be resolved with a slow bike race across a grass strip of approximately 20 metres*
Having a complete committee ensures that races can continue to happen whilst maintaining lower workloads on each individual committee member. There is great support from existing and previous committee members.
After all the exciting official talk, the night will flow into the less exciting PRIZE GIVING!
We will start by presenting the winners of the 2013 Giant State Championships with their personally engraved medals and trophies and follow up with the series winners for the Giant XCO Series (available here – Championship Table). After that, we’ll draw out the tension with some random and/or amusing prizes, followed by the draw for the major prize –Giant Anthem 27.5 1 – proudly provided by Giant Cycling World Adelaide. Remember that you have to be there to win it!

*Slow bike race may not happen. Jousting sticks may be used if the race does go ahead. The club will most likely accept all members offers for assistance in the one roll and the club can simply have 6 presidents**
** There will not be more than 1 club president at any one time

Giant XCO State Champs Lap Results V2.0
Race day is fast approaching and registration cut off is even sooner. SO, don’t forget to register before Saturday 10am! We are printing plates for this race so there will be no space for late entries!
MAKE SURE YOU DOUBLE CHECK YOUR START TIME. There are two main start times – 09:30am and 11:30am. Specific start orders will be announced on the day once you’re all raring to go at the start line.
With that in mind, ALL COMPETITORS will be required to pick up a race plate at registration. At the same time, you will pick up your $10 voucher for Anderson Hill Winery that can be used to procure any of their food and beverages. We will also be holding presentations after the final competitor has crossed the line at the winery at approximately 2:00pm.
The lap for the state champs has been confirmed. Thanks to Jason Morrison for doing the scouting and Marc Fox for marking it out prior to race day (later in the week). The lap GPS info is available here.
