so renae’s race will be held this sunday on the tech park circuit. what is renae’s race??? well it is in memory of one of perth’s female cyclists who died a few years ago and is now used to help promote women’s cycling in the state.
as such there will be races for a, b & c grade women. in our club, this basically equates to fast, main 1 and main 2 level riders. if there are any girls out there in these groups that want to have a go at racing, then i encourage you to sign up and have a go. more info and links can be found on our previous post.
so, for the club, we need to provide a few volunteers to assist in running this race. unlike other crits that we do, all profits from this race will go to Heartkids WA. volunteers from that organisation will be running a bbq and selling drinks, so we will not need to provide a tuck shop. there will also be the new timing system used (which was used at yanchep) which means that we will not need as many people line judging. however, as we are looking at reducing costs to allow more profits to charity, we need to provide a number of traffic marshals throughout the day.
also, i am not going to be available during the event as i have a previous engagement. i will be there to drop off the gear and pick it up later, but someone needs to take responsibility for running the finishline and other volunteers.
if you can help out please put your name in the comments and when you will be available. we will generally need at least 4 people there at any one time with the first shift starting at 7am for setup.
thanks.

I’m happy to help out from set up until 10 am
I can do set up and e grade
I can help set up from 7am. I’m racing in D grade.
I’m happy to help out for the second half – marshall or whatever.
So that’s from 9.20 (in time for A grade Men) through to finish around 1200 midday.
Renae’s Race is always such a great day – I encourage any woman even slightly interested in racing to give it a go – this is your day!!
Hiya I am on holidays at the mo so happy to help all day if required. I can make up my hills ride any day next week. Don’t know much about the timing so maybe a traffic marshall if needed 🙂
Girls! As you can see by the picture above, the race is a challenge, but encouragement is never far away. Criteriums are an interesting combination of fitness and tactical manoeuvre. I urge you to give Renae’s Race a red hot go. Opportunities such as these are fantastic for tentative ladies to try something new & really test themselves in a supportive environment close to home. So, grab this one with both pedals enjoy the buzz of racing! xx
I will personally buy a Dome coffee for all SPR ladies racing for the first time this Sunday! What an offer!! 🙂
I can come down for a couple of hours, probably 8 – 10.
i’m heading down but don’t really know what time. if there are any gaps to fill while i’m there, corner marshal, podium boy etc just shout and i’ll do what i can.
