this weekend will be the first of three crit races that we are presenting with the rccc at the tech park circuit in bentley. for those that were involved last season, then nothing has changed and we will run grades a – d starting with d grade at 8:00am. if you have never raced before and would like to give it a go, then this is for you. nice easy 1km circuit means that if you do get dropped, then you only need to do one more lap before you can come home (rather than 45kms solo…from experience).
we will also need a bunch of people to help out on the day. jobs include –
- traffic management
- timer
- line judges
- refreshments desk
- set-up and pack up
if you can help, put your name in the comments below. with enough volunteers it should be easy to race and then help out before/after your race. with enough volunteers, it should mean that people will only need to man a corner for one race, not the whole day. do your bit for the club and help out.
I’m going to ‘race’ in C-grade, Peter, but I’m happy to volunteer for anything you need around that.
Happy to help out on the day Pete…I’ll have the Tin Lids with me though, so probably not Traffic Mgt; doubt they could go the distance….I’ll be racing C (…can’t be gittin’ dropped in front of the chilun’!)..
Happy to help out after D grade is done….
Nope sorry out at Hillarys doing Tri 😉
decisions, decisions…..
spr sunday long hills back on the bianchi with new wheels (very tempting)……getting dropped in rccc/spr crit in c grade (not so tempting) but also offering my services to help spr out on the day and get to show off my new spr t-shirt (tempting)…..ride to crits, offer full-time help and take the long route home (tempting)…..
????
ok, decided to help out at the crits. please let me know what i’ll be doing. cheers
I’ll be giving D grade a go, so happy to be of service outside of that.
After the race rather, Pete.
Count me in to help out… racing B grade but will help out with setup or pack up or both or whatever suits catch ya out there..:-)
What time will the later races go off, Pete? I want to spend some time in the hills (to pick up two places – or more – in 2012) on Sunday but can get up a bit earlier if necessary to do that. Happy to stand on a corner and pack up etc.
I’ll come down and help out,
Get those daquiries on ice again Dale?
Yes indeed….the mango daiquiris will be suitably chilled… and i will be there cheering and waving my pom poms…..!!!
Uhhh no need to wave your pom poms around, its not that kind of event!
What time will C grade start? don’t think I can squeeze this in before work. Dam it.
I’m happy to volunteer. Can do D and C grade traffic control or the like before family duties take over.
keen to try my first race, are day license/3 day license available to purchase on the day? or should I get one online?
I will probably give C-grade a crack and happy to help out wherever I’m needed. What time do you need us there for set-up, Peter?
Will give D grade a go on the tech park circuit. I guess there will be plenty wanting to hide behind a moving wall. Will help after the race.
