Once again, Murray Bridge will be hosting the South Australian Masters Games.
There will be three cycling events, each with eleven age categories from 30-34 through 80+ for both male and female competitors.
• Criterium – Saturday 21st April.
• Time Trial – Saturday 21st April.
• Road Race – Sunday 22nd April.
It’s a great weekend of racing. Hope to see you there.
If cycling isn’t enough, there are many other sports hosted through the week too.
Just a reminder that Consistency Points for the current year include the Christmas Handicap 2017 so that prizes can be awarded at the Christmas Handicap 2018. Each riders best NINE club races points count.
SAFETY AND GETTING TO THE START ON TIME
Rider safety is a top priority for the club. One of the things we must do is provide a Referee Briefing to all riders prior to a race starting. Without this, the club is placing itself in an untenable position on safety requirements.
To make it work, riders need to be at the start line at least 5 minutes prior to their set start time. This gives time to do the roll-call so we know who is out on the track, plus time for the Referee to provide a full briefing.
If you are not at the start line 5 minutes prior to start time, we still want you to be able to race but you will need to wait until the others (who were there on time) have got away. As soon as they are off, the Referee will provide the required briefing to any late comers and as soon as that is done, you will be on your way…with some catching up to do.
The best plan – be at the start line at least 5 minutes prior to your take-off time and all will be sweet.
The distances for this Sunday’s race will be either 41.5km or 61.6km.
This will be Grade dependant.
Perfect weather for a gentle jaunt up Fox Creek and a scenic ride through Lobethal.
What better way to fine tune your TOUR OF GOOLWA skills!
Entries to the AHMCC Handicapper.
Registration at the RSL Hall.
Because of extensive road works on Swamp Road, the Committee has been forced to change the race course for February 11. The race will now be held on Course 25A. The good news is that you will still be able to enjoy the challenge of Fox Creek. Registration will take place in the Lobethal RSL Hall, Wattle St., Lobethal.
