Don’t forget to register for the race by 10am Saturday! If you have any issues, send an email to timing@ambc.asn.au

We will be having a BBQ and soft drinks on offer at the race – a gold coin donation for each menu item!

There is also currently a petition making the rounds regarding enforcing a minimum distance while overtaking cyclists. The club will have a number of petition sheets for people to sign at the registration desk at this race and the next summer series race. More information is available on the Amy Gillett Foundation website.

Summer Series Race 2

Entries for the second Summer Series race on – Sunday 16 Feb – are now open – enter here.

Location will be in Park 23 on the corner of Sir Donald Bradman Rd and West Tce – next to the cemetery – click here for Google Maps

Registration will open at 9am for a 10am race start.

On-line entries will close at 10am the Saturday before.

General Information

The second race will be a Pony Express team event. Teams will race for 90 minutes, with each team member completing laps in the order they start – i.e. rider 1, rider 2, rider 3, rider 4 and then repeat until all members have completed 3 laps each OR the time runs out.

Each team must have either a female rider OR a junior rider (under 18) in them.

The “baton” will be the teams race plate that will have to be transferred to the next team member every lap at the transition area. The club will provide race plates for any team that requires one at no extra cost – there will be a deposit required on the day to ensure we get it back (drivers license, credit card, etc.). If your team members already have a race plate, please nominate your teams plate (one plate) when registering.

This race will not be timed using the clubs usual timing system, so there is no need to bring your transponders.

The soft drinks will be on again, so bring your gold coins for an ice cold tinnie (soft drinks only). The club is looking into organising a BBQ – more details will follow soon!

Costs

Team entry is $40. If you don’t have a team of 4, you can still enter individually and we will allocate teams on the day. Individual entry is $15ea. Individual Junior entries are $10ea.

If you do not have a MTBA license, a day license is required for $20.

2014 Race Season kicks off this weekend – Volunteers needed

Adelaide MTB Club’s first race for 2014 is on this weekend. Round 1 of the Summer series at Eagle Park is the perfect opportunity for new riders to get a taste of what MTB racing is all about, and for those more experienced racers, a chance to hone their skills on a course that takes in much of the following weekend’s MTBA National Round. The course will be prepared and setup by Friday afternoon and for those wanting a guided lap of the course, a preview ride has been organised for Saturday morning, meeting at 9:15 for 9:30 start, at the Eagle MTB Park main gate off the old freeway. Please register your interest in the ride by emailing info@ambc.asn.au. Full location and entry details can be found on the Summer Series page.

Please note, there will be no on-the-day registration, this event is strictly on line registration only. Registrations close the day prior at 10am.

AMBC is also helping to host round 1 of the Mountain Bike Australia National Series at Eagle on the 17 – 19th of Jan. If your not planning on racing and can spare a few hours to help with registration or course marshaling (no experience required), please email racevolunteers@ambc.asn.au to register your interest.

Please be sure to resubscribe to AMBCs new email subscription system, as of 20th August, the old system has been switched off.
