Reminder – Hammer Nutrition Round 3

IMPORTANT: Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure have advised that Gorge Rd will be closed between Corkscrew Road and Torrens Hill Road:

“We will be closing Gorge Road between Playford Bridge, Castambul and Torrens Hill Rd, Millbrook / Paracombe from 12pm today until 12pm Monday 30 June 2014.

Additionally Gorge Rd will be restricted to Local Traffic Only eastwards of Coulls Road, Athelstone up to Playford Bridge & westwards of Tippett Road, Cudlee Creek to Torrens Road. Local access is available from Tippett Road to Torrens Hill Road to access Cudlee Creek and the wildlife park.”

Don’t forget to register for the race by 10am Saturday morning. If you have any dramas with registration, email  timing@ambc.asn.au.

This round brings us to Dazzleland at Mt. Torrens. These trails are only ride-able at sanctioned events so get on it and have a shot.

If you’re aim is to contend in the Elite Series this year and you’ve only made it to one of the Enduro races so far, you’ll need to make sure you complete one lap at this round to qualify.

The club is always happy to accept volunteers, so if you can help on the day then contact  racevolunteers@ambc.asn.au to let us know. Every volunteer gets a transferable race entry and a “Timekeepers BBQ super-happy-fun-time meal deal” (sausage with bread, onions and sauces, tin of soft drink and there’s talk of some soup for this round – if you ask nicely, we’ll even warm it up for you!).

The club has introduced an emergency contact phone that will be used at races to contact a race official at the start/finish area in case of an accident. We have also printed up some stickers for the backs of race plates. They will be available for people to grab at registration.

This number is to only be used for emergencies and will only be monitored while events are being run, so don’t call it for general information.

SEE YOU OUT THERE!

With a good turn out on Saturday the trail is looking nice and rocky. After completing a couple of laps, I can confirm that the 6.8km for the course should be more than enough to challenge most competitors. See below for the map:

Race Map for Hammer Nutrition 4hr Enduro Round 2

After some fun in the sun on Saturday the trail has been penciled in. We’ve managed to include a lot of the fun stuff with a nice break in the middle to recover yourself. The trail pulls up at just shy of 9 kilometers a lap, and took around 45 minutes for us to mosey around – enjoying the colors of all the different mushrooms!

We are still looking for volunteers for this race, so if you can spare some time to help out in any of the following positions, please let racevolunteers@ambc.asn.au know:

  • Two people to provide BBQ services – you only need to cook, everything is purchased and brought to the race for you;
  • Three people to assist with track set-up on Saturday 31st May – meeting at the start line at 09:00am;
  • Two people to assist with registration – handing out race packs – the time keeper will handle any tricky questions;
  • Two people to provide assistance with track pack-up;

All volunteers receive a free, transferable race entry – this entry can be used for any grade and qualifies for the elite series entry – a BBQ’d delight and a refreshing beverage to wash it all down with.
