december has arrived.  summer has arrived.  the temperature has actually gone down.  something is going on there.  pretty much three weeks till christmas.  that is going to come along even quicker than i expect.  wonder what santa has in his sack this year.

breakfast – saturday.  after the ride.  $10 members, $15 non-members.  food, drink, raffle prizes, good company, bike weigh-in and generally more lycra than you should really allow in my backyard.  more info here.

memberships – i received a new membership list today.  we currently have 193 members.  lets see if we can crack 200 for the year.  we can then aim for 300 at the end of 2011.  for those that have been asking about the expiry date on their licence.  all race licences expire at the end of the calendar year.  the recreational licences are based on quarters so you basically get a year from when you joined.  however, if you want to upgrade to a race licence, you can still do it anyway.

movember – well it is now the second day of shave-cember and the razor was out as quick as a flash.  thank-you for all the donations as we managed to raise $1,190.

races – cyclemania classic this sunday.  we have a few people heading up for the last race of the season.

crit series – race 01 was a great success, so hopefully we see a bunch more of you guys at tech park for race 02 on the 12th dec.  there is a d grade race for those that haven’t raced before and a qualified coach rides along with you to give you some tips.  shaw won this race last week, so up to c grade for him.  it was a really good morning, so come along a support the club.  a new lot of volunteers needed.  share the load, guys.  i don’t want to see the same people helping out every week.

ride routes – breakfast this week so all the saturday rides will end up back at my place.  if you are not riding and still want to come to the breakfast, then send me an email and i can let you know where it is.
