this weekend will be the state senior road championships to be held at carmel. there are 3 categories; open, masters & u19. each category has a men’s and women’s field and will determine the state champion for each. as this is a state title, there are no day licences available but instead you race in the category shown on your licence. i.e. if you licence says “elite” then you are in open. if it says “MMAS#” or “MWAS#” then you can enter the masters race.
the course is not an easy one as it climbs over the observatory a number of times then finishes each lap up the steep climb to carmel. i am going to try to support mr bonner as best i can (i.e. 1 lap before he drops me) as he will be back from belgium. we will route the sunday hills ride passed this event so you can drop in and add a bit of cheering as we meander past.
add to the comments below if you are coming along so we know what club gear to bring (i.e. tent, esky). registration closes midnight tuesday. the state title was cancelled last year due to the crap that was going on in cycling wa, so lets make this years count.
extra info can be found here – flyer, map, registration.
I’m going to see if I can make it past lap 1 !
Thinking about it
i’ll be racing!
I’ve registered for masters, see how we go 🙂
i am in for masters. “supporting” mr bonner.
I’m in for the Masters race. Happy to play domestique for the day and will race to instruction.
No way near fit enough to race, but will be aiming to be up there with camera at the ready to capture pain, suffering, sweat and tears!!!
there will be tears. i can assure you.
Back and tired, but have entered the Masters race to support Pete, Andrew, Jerry, Julian and Paul (now that I’m actively resting after Belgium). It’s only short so should hang on till the end.
Am available to take the Transition group on Saturday if anyone wants to stretch their legs with another group.
Im going to suffer in the masters catagory. i hope there will be others to limp home with so i dont feel so humiliated after being dropped like a bad habit
