It’s that time of year again!
Daylight Savings starts this weekend, it’s getting a little warmer, the magpies have been swooping for weeks, all the permits are in place, the training has been done (hopefully!) aaaand… the Summer Road Race Series will start this coming Thursday 6 October.
Yes… you read that right - road racing starts this coming week!
The first race will be a handicap on course 5 - from the Botanic Park out along Whitfield Road, turning around at Sawpit Gully Road, back towards town and finishing up at the Showgrounds.
In case you weren’t at the AGM, there are a few small changes for entering road races.
Entries
ALL entries will now be done through Entry Boss. It’s the system used by most Victorian clubs and should make life much easier for you to enter; and for our Handicapper, Dave Moore. (We’re no longer using the Team App for entries like we used last summer. More on Team App soon…)
Each week entries open on Monday morning and close at 8pm on Wednesday.
Calendar
The Summer Road Race Series calendar is on the website now. Yep, the whole lot.
- There’s an Event Calendar entry on the website for each race, with a link on the Home page; and
- There’s an Entry Boss listing for each race under Mansfield Mt Buller CC.
Duty Roster
The roster for Marshals and Commissaires for each and every race is also published. Each Entry Boss page has the roster for that race. The Events Calendar entry for each race also has the roster. Plus there’s a separate page with the whole season’s roster.
Please check to see when you’re rostered on.
For info on what’s required for duty, have a read of the Road Racing Info page.
Latest News
The change from Team App means we’ll no longer publish the club newsletter on there either.
The most direct way to find out club news is by subscribing to a direct email on the right hand side of the website Home page. Otherwise, we’ll also publish a link for each newsletter on Facebook, Twitter or WhatsApp which will take you to the website too.
Hopefully you can find the most convenient one for you.
Dirt Crits
The first night of Dirt Crits will be Tuesday 11 October.
We should have a full calendar next week so keep an eye out for details shortly. We’ll also have news on Dirt Critters then too.
Finally…
A good little article about Elise, Ruby, Talia and the MMBCC on the AusCycling website.
