Cycling Inform Handicap
Thursday 18 December's race is being sponsored by David and Jodie from Cycling Inform Cycle Coaching. There'll be a minimum of $200 prize money up for grabs.
Entries via SMS on 0438 513 355 by 8pm Wednesday.
We're using course no. 8 of the current list, which can be found here - /maps/mansfield-ride-maps/ - starting at the Botanic Park, finishing on Graves Road.
Presentation for the race will be held back at the Botanic Park where we'll also be having the club Xmas barbecue...................

Christmas Barbecue Alert!
With a smaller-than-hoped-for response, the club has decided to cancel lunch at Goughs Bay.
Instead… we're having a barbecue! (Even though this is being held on a Thursday evening, it's for the WHOLE CLUB, not just for roadies.)
It'll be at the Mansfield Botanic Park after the Cycling Inform Handicap road race on Thursday 18 December; probably around 7.30pm.
The club will provide the salads, it's up to you to BYO everything else; meat, drinks, chair… whatever you want. We'll just be using the electric barbecues at the Park so there's no cost involved.
To help us estimate how much salad we need, please email Julie Dolling - juliedolling@hotmail.com - with an idea of how many people a
you're bringing.
