tomorrow is christmas and we still haven’t started wrapping the kids presents. i am sure that santa will get it done on time, but it may be a late night with milk and cookies. there are 2 new bikes entering our household tomorrow. unfortunately not one for me as i could not buy enough roses. eat lots. ride lots. stay safe.
ride leader sponsor – there are no ride leader sponsors for december.
rules of engagement – please read the previous post if you come out on any of our rides. it is up to all members to enforce these rules.
extra rides – many people have next week off work especially as it is a short week. as such, if you are around and want to do some extra k’s, meet at the coode st carpark at 7am for another 50km or more. this gives us time to complete the earlybird ride as a warmup. no set course on the blog as it will depend on peoples available time (e.g. lap of the river or hills ride).
memberships – as the year comes to a close, there are lots of memberships that will also expire. all race licences will come to an end on the 31st dec and some recreational licences will as well. for the race licences, if you renew now, you are covered till the end of dec 2016. you will also need to get this sorted before the crits start on the 9th jan. see the memberships page for links to renew or join.
spr crit champs – as part of the summer crit series, we will also run a spr crit championship. this will again be a points based system given to placings 1 through 10. “a” and “b” grade will be given a difficulty multiplier and a leaderboard will track progress. there are 7 races that we are putting on this year, but your points for the best 5 races will be used. this allows you to have holidays, miss races and still be in the running. more details on the previous post.
ride routes – bit of a crazy week this week with lots of public holidays to cater for. basically, if it is not a public holiday then normal rides will apply. sat 26th will have normal saturday rides on and the boxing day public holiday ride will be on the 28th. also, with the increased numbers at the public holiday rides, we will run them like a saturday ride and split into fast, main 1, main 2 etc. all on the same route, but smaller groups for safety. there are also some extra rides for those that have tues-thurs off next week. 7am at coode st and we can play it by ear.
