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…..
This is it! Registrations close tomorrow morning at 10am! If you haven’t registered and you want to race – click here – and go through the motions.
If you’re having difficulty because Tina the Llama won’t eat her food – then email timing@ambc.asn.au so we can sort something out.
Start times and categories and a whole lot of general information about the state champs is on the State Champs Page.
Anderson Hill will be putting on a BBQ to cater for the event.
Just in case you don’t know where it is – it’s at Fox Creek

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.
State champs are fast approaching. Here’s a map of what the course may or may not look like – i.e. it’s subject to change because who likes to know everything? The course needs some pruning, so if you’re keen to help out shoot a message over to racedirector@ambc.asn.au so that you can arrange logistics and story times.
Yet another reminder that the Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held right before presentations – around 2pm. If you’d like to nominate for a position, then send an email to info@ambc.asn.au to let us know. Remember, you can challenge existing committee members, but why would you when we have some great positions available:
The timing role stops the person from racing and the committee compensates this by making it a paid position.
Timing and registration coordinator positions are a must have in order for races to go ahead.
What’s CHC? COLD HARD CASH – The series points have been tallied and winners have been decided. The prizes will be awarded after the AGM and right before State Champs prizes. Remember that all championship categories in the State Champs attract CHC – some categories even paying to 5th!
