2012 Giant Adelaide Bikes XCO Series Winners Announced

Adelaide Mountain Bike Club
2012 Giant Bikes XCO Series Winners Announced

The committee would like to congratulate the winners of the Adelaide Mountain Bike Club’s 2012 Giant Bikes XCO series.

In 2012, XCO riders were categorised on their ability rather than their age or gender. This had the result of making racing more challenging and more rewarding, increasing category sizes and providing close matched competition for riders regardless of age or gender.

This year, members competed for points towards a prize pool.  Points were awarded for loyalty, consistency, performance and volunteering.

If you want to know what it takes to be a winner in this years competition then its worth noting that all winners were club members, 9 out of 10 volunteered their time and 9 out of 10 competed in all five rounds of the competition

So, the winners of the 2012 Giant Bikes XCO Series are.

1st Prize Giant Adelaide Bikes Tim Klein wins a Giant Anthem X1 26er (Medium), Team jersey, Team bibs, and T-shirt. Total approximate value $3,500 from our series sponsor.
2nd Prize Bio-Mechanics Cycles and Repairs Michael Denton wins $500 cash
3rd Prize Escapegoat Steve McCabe wins the Hills, Vines and Wine Tour for 4 people valued at $500
4th Prize AMBC Club Bryce Penno wins $250 cash
5th Prize BiCorp Griff Knight wins the Maxxis Tyre package valued at $200
6th Prize Hammer Nutrition Howard Clark wins the Hammer Nutrition pack valued at $100
7th prize B.-d. Farm Paris Creek Sam Staska wins a B.-d. Farm Paris Creek Pack valued at $100
8th Prize Palmer’s Richard Bates wins a Palmers Body Product package valued at $100
9th and 10th Prize Hammer Nutrition and AMBC Tom Bammann and Jack Allison tie for 9th / 10th place and each receive a $50 voucher from Hammer Nutrition and $50 cash from the club

Congratulations to the winners, the committee look forward to seeing you at the AGM for presentation of the prizes. The evening starts at 06:00pm Monday November 26 at the Hackney Hotel.

Volunteers needed for Mt Torrens race Sunday 28th of October

Due to the planets not aligning this Sunday most of the Committee will be away for the Mt Torrens Race, so we are desperately short of people to setup and packup. I think we can manage (just) to run the race itself.

If you can spare a few hours in the morning (starting at 08:00am) or helping packup at the end of the day (1.5 hours) ending at 4:30pm, then please contact Julia on 0407185219. We would need about an extra 3 to 4 people in the morning and 3-4 people in the afternoon.

Please respond before Sunday so we can organise the logistics, Thanks 🙂

Online registrations close on Friday at 8pm. Weather is looking perfect for Sunday.

A late fee applies for on-the-day entries, plus on day entries take so much longer at the registration tent (double the paper work!) so enter now and help out our volunteers by being registered on-line today 🙂
