the second race in the spr/rccc summer criterium series is on this sunday at technology park. there will be 4 races from d grade through to a grade with series points to be accumulated across all 4 races. this is a great opportunity for anyone that want to have a go at racing as it is a nice easy circuit with lots of spr support.
last week there was come classy racing with both the meyer boys as well as two women from the british olympic team. spr also placed well with andrew claiming a win in c grade, luke taking second in b grade and amanda third in b grade women.
however, it is not just about racing, as we have some organising to do as well. we need to provide people for the following jobs –
- traffic management x 8 (two per race)
- tuck shop
- line judging x 3
- set-up and pack-up (7:30am & 11:30am)
these races provide one of the clubs sources of income and also are the side of the club that other clubs get to see. in other words, if we do these right, we get more money as more people will come and race.
costs for racing aren’t high ($10 for spr/rccc and $15 others). day licences are available.
remember, if you volunteer for traffic management, you can race for free. just make sure you don’t put your name down for the race directly before yours or there is no time to warm up.
please put your name in the comments if you can help out and what role you can take.
I’m available this week (school holidays and all that). If anyone wants to join me for an early non-stop hills ride (5:30ish) beforehand they are most welcome.

Should be there close to set up time. Happy to help out on the canteen.
Thanks to everyone who helped out today.. it was a great turnout !
Was a great event; I had a great time. Going to dine out on my winnings all week.
As a foot note it does not say I was racing for SPR in the results; is this because my mebership card has not come through yet or just that I don’t own a shirt yet?
idris, i was just going off the jerseys that were worn at the race rather than the club. it didn’t matter for most of the grades, but in a grade there is a teams competition.
