Summer series round 1 results

Have been released. Check the results page for more the link – click here

Allocated transponders from the higher end to make sure all of them worked, and some didn’t. So if you’re times are a bit skewed that could be why. If you think I’ve short changed you some sheep from your sheep station because of this, let me know – timing@ambc.asn.au – and we’ll discuss the current value of ewes’.

Thanks to all the volunteers who assisted with setting up and packing down of the HQ and course.

Next race is at Eagle MTB Park and entries are open, check the links below.

We’re already looking at moving the start time forward to 09:00am again to beat the heat and be finished nice ‘n’ early in order to hit the beach sooner. Stay tuned for more information and confirmation of start times (now that I’ve mentioned it, it’ll rain).

Start list and course modification

Start list for tomorrows Summer series race is available here

Due to a technical glitch the registration system didn’t catch In Case of Emergency details. All competitors will be required to provide these details at sign on. Please be prepared as we won’t issue race plates or transponders until these details are received.

After consultation and consideration the course has been modified. Instead of heading down DH3, the course will now be heading down DH1 – a less technical course that is more suitable to the summer series format, i.e. all grades on course at the same time.

Volunteers for tomorrow – if you can volunteer tomorrow to help with:

  1. Registration – help make sure people get the right race plate and transponder
  2. Course set up – starting bright and early at 06:30am
  3. Course pack up – it’s only one more lap…..
  4. Gate Commander – we need someone on the gate to ensure that it is closed after each vehicle enters.

Email racevolunteers@ambc.asn.au and let them know.

The core setup group will be on site from 06:30am with registration opening at 08:15am and race start at 09:00am. Racing should be concluded by 10:30am at the latest and everyone should be out of the gate by 11:00am. Make sure you’re out before the timing van leaves otherwise you’ll have to ring the park rangers to come and let you out and they’re at least an expensive carton of fine import beer in value.

See you all tomorrow!

2015 State Champs results

Results are up on the results page.

Next “race” is on the 06th December – End of year pony express – registation will be open later this week with more info to follow. The basic rules are:

Each team of 4 must contain at least one junior or one female. Teams race in a consistent order (i,e. rider 1, rider 2, rider 3, rider 4, rider 1, so forth) for two hours. Most laps completed “wins”. No prizes for “winners” although we may have some “random” prizes to give away. If you get my “drift”. What ever “that” means.

This when we’ll also draw the major Giant raffle prize. If you’re after a ticket send an email to timing@ambc.asn.au and we can sort something out in the interim. Tickets will be available on the day as well. You do not need to be there to win it (official raffle rules).

That’s about all I have left for now…..

Raffle advert

We’ll be selling tickets for the Giant MTB raffle as well – $5ea and with a maximum of 1,000 tickets up for grabs you’ll be in with a fighting chance to win yourself a Giant Anthem 27.5 1. Massive thanks to Giant Adelaide for their continual support of the club.

The raffle will be drawn at the Pony Express to be held on the 06th Dec at O’Halloran Hill. Because this is an official raffle – rules and stuff – you do not have to be there on the day to claim your prize – although it would be nice so we can a photo of your big smile as you strut up to claim your prize!

 

We’ll also be going through the AGM formalities, the brunt of which is the election (or re-election) of members to the committee roles. There’s some babble about finances, but it’s only money so I wouldn’t worry about that.

It’s not to late to nominate yourself for a position if you’re interested in any way. Email  info@ambc.asn.au or have a chat with any of us on the day or on the trails.

Following that we will be presenting the Elite Winter Series prizes, followed by the GESA presentations and then the State Champs presentations.
