Dear Club Members,

Happy New Year! Now is the time to start thinking (if you haven’t already!) about the year of racing ahead with all the challenges and fun that it will bring. Have you also thought of helping out at all to make these events happen? At present our club is in need of at least two additional Race Committee members for the 2012 season.

The main job of the Race Committee is to plan and execute our larger races which consist of the Geoff Dixon Memorial, the Wagga to Albury Handicap and the Giro d’Bellbridge. Duties include attending one or two meetings before a large race and helping to set up on the race day. The commitments of the Race Committee have been significantly eased this year as our club will not be running the Rutherglen Classic and we are now rostering marshaling duties. Despite this, we still need more people on the Race Committee as many hands make light work!

If you feel that you could help out on the Race Committee, please don’t hesitate to contact me for a chat.

Kind regards,

Rohan Christmas

National Champ!

Congratulations to AWCC member Glen Jarvis who yesterday won MC2 1000m time trail at the National Track Para-Cycling Championships at DISC, Melbourne. Winning in a time of 1:27.751 to gets over New South Wales’ Andrew Falconer (1:28.712). He victory was all the more impressive given the fact that Glen had to metal plates insert into faces after crashing at the Crits a few weeks ago. Awesome Victory Glen!

Group Riding

Group rides every Sunday (maybe not Christmas Day) from Astor Hotel starting at 7:30am. This will continue until club racing starts again. It could be long, could be short, to be decided on the day (no more 2 hours if it's hot day). All welcome, see y'all there.
