Autumn Road Series begins
Our first road race since finishing the Summer Series is set for this coming Sunday. It'll be on the Whitfield Road, out to Sawpit Gully Road and back (course number 5 on the club listing).
Entries will be taken on the day from 9.30am (please don't be any later than 9.45!) and we'll start at 10 sharp! Entry is $5 for adults, $2 for juniors.
If you have a spare hour or so and don't feel like racing, please come along and help out so we can put on a safe race. The club will shout you a coffee at The Produce Store afterwards, plus you'll have the gratitude and appreciation of all the racers.
