Round 3 of the winter series is fast approaching. This round sees us move into Cobbler Creek. Cobbler Creek is a fast paced terrain – loose over hard packed – so we should some fast racing.

We require the following volunteers for this race

4 x course marshals – we would prefer 8 so that we can rotate people. If you’re raceing the 1st run session and can hang around to marshal for the 2nd run, this would be ideal and vice versa for those of you racing 2nd run, if you can marshal for the 1st run that would be great

These course marshals are essential and the race will not go ahead if we cannot fulfil this requirement

2 x people to cook the BBQ – near enough to essential because I hear the time keeper gets grumpy if he doesn’t get his feed…..
2 x registration volunteers – to oversee handing out race packs and making sure people put a tick in the box to notify that they are here!
2-4 people to help with course set up on the Saturday before the race (18th Oct)
2-4 people to help with course pack up on the day after racing has concluded

If you can volunteer any time, please email racevolunteers@ambc.asn.au

Matthew Ackland – el Presidente – has scoped out the course and a map has been provided –

Club sponsor MTBSkills.com.au are hosting a skills session day on the 11th Oct. The session is limited to a maximum of 6 participants, so jump on over. Remember that the fee -$59 – also covers your race entry. Head over to MTBSkills.com.au to register.

AMBC is currently seeking people who maybe interested in overseeing on the day timing – we are looking at building up a team of 4-8 people to share this work load. If you think you may be interested, please email timing@ambc.asn.au for more information.

If you’re interested in volunteering on Sunday at Flinders Uni get in contact with Robyn via racevolunteers@ambc.asn.au.

Positions that will require filling will be:

BBQ Cooker – an esteemed position that comes with the gratitude of many a by-stander and racer alike. If you know how to flip a sausage, then this position is for you!
Registration verifier – be there to help guide pen to paper so competitiors can tick themselves off the start list! Hand out show bags to eligible people (aka: race packs). If you know how to direct people across a table, this job is for you!
Course packer-upper – Want to squeeze in one last lap before “adult life” comes slamming back to the fore-front of your mind? Want to do it a little under race threshhold pace? This is the job for you!

All volunteers get:

a free feed off the club BBQ – includes a soft drink;
free, transferable, race entry – get your friends involved! – and
last but not least, that warm fuzzy feeling that lending a hand is bound to give you – I hear it’s better than a warm fire on a drizzly Monday morning!

The next round of the Giant XCO series is fast approaching – 14 Sep. For this round we return to Flinders Uni for what should be a fast and furious course at only 4.2km long.

For those that haven’t raced at Flinders Uni car parking is in Car Park 3, just off Ring Rd – see the attached race map or Race Location page.

There will be some trail prep followed by a juniors/beginners pre-ride happening on Saturday 13 Sep. Meet at car park 3 at 08:00 for trail marking and then 10:00 for a pre-ride.

Registration for the race can be found here. Registration will close at 10am on Sat 13 Sep. If you have any dramas registering, please email timing@ambc.asn.au.

A reminder that riding on these trails outside of sanctioned events is strictly forbidden. Please remember that our continued access to these trails for events may depend on this.
