Some of you may have noticed that we have been testing and implementing some new ideas for races. One of these features is the new MyLaps app. The app will enable users to log into the local wireless timing network “AMBC Timing” and receive results from the timing system.
The app gives basic data for each competitor such as –
plus a few other features that are dependent on screen size and orientation. The attached picture is an example of the app running on my Asus Transformer tablet.
MyLaps charge $0.99 for the app on the
Google Play store
Apple iStore
If you’d like to see the app in action before you make the big leap, see P’An-Tau (The Timekeeper) on race day for a live demonstration.To confirm the IP address to enter into the app, see the Timekeeper on race day – it will usually be 192.168.2.3 though.
Due to the high fire risk and the high number of volunteers needed to manage the event due to the fire risk, the Adelaide Mountain Bike Club committee has taken the decision to postpone Sundays event at Craigburn Farm. A new date will be advised after Monday nights club meeting.
Any current entries will be held for the new date, once this is finalised.
We apologise to anyone who was eager to race, but we don’t take these decisions lightly and have to take many factors into account. After considering all the options the best decision was to cancel Sundays event and place another date into the calendar and hope for better conditions on the future dates.
Just a reminder that the club has number of committee positions vacant, including Race Director and President. If you are interested, please attend the general club meeting on Monday evening, which is open to any mountain bikers, club members and non-members.

The AGM is a fundamental part of the Club year. At the AGM all Committee positions are declared vacant and up for election. It is critical to the success of your Club and its races to have a strong committee to continue to run events.
To give everyone an idea of what positions are available the Club Role Descriptions are here, including more than just committee positions. If you are interested in nominating for a committee position, or filling one of the other roles, please contact the Club president@ambc.asn.au
