Cessnock ride
Well done to all those who rode the 182kms to Cessnock last
Saturday (I don’t know why it keeps getting longer and longer as Cessnock
doesn’t seem to have moved) on a very hot day. A speedy recovery to
Col Harris who unfortunately acquainted himself with the ground a little too
closely but I hear is recovering fast with a lot of assistance. And
thanks to Mark and the boys from Peloton Sports who towed the bunch for 182kms
at a 33km average (well for me anyway perhaps faster for others).
Perhaps the ride next year will be over 200kms as Cessnock appears to be on some
sort of fault line which means it moves further from
Sydney Marathon, Half Marathon and 9km
Weekend riding
Saturday : 6:45am from the caravan and two
ride options. Some faster race type training at the container
terminals for those that want some speed work – approx 60kms and back in the
park by 9am latest. And Rod will be taking a cruisier ride back in
the park by 9am.
Sunday : 6:15am from the caravan. Two bunches both going to Waterfall and back (90km) with a slightly different average speed.
Looking for two people out of our
150 odd membership to stand as general committee members from Sept 2005 to Sept
2006. We generally have 4 committee meetings a year to discuss
various issues with the club and organise activities. You will be
required to donate a little bit of time and action any activities that you
volunteer to help with. We also have a bit of fun and usually manage
to get through a couple of bottles of bubbly as
well.
New committee will start after the AGM this year on 9th October. Please email Anna on ciclismo@tpg.com.au or Rob Gorman on r.Gorman@unsw.edu.au if you have some time and energy this year to spare for your cycling and triathlon club.
Annual General Meeting reminder
The AGM is on again on Sunday 9th October in the afternoon. At this meeting we will vote for office bearers for 2005-6, review the last year of STEAM and discuss any agenda items. Please send in you nominations for the committee positions: President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and other general members (currently 4, see above). Also send any items to include on the agenda.
Fire sale of old old clothing
There will be a fire sale of the really old clothing (as in circa
1999) before we move and chuck the whole lot out. All clothing brand
new. $5 a pop for anything that you can find that will fit you or someone
else or that you can make use of. After Sunday’s ride and coffee at
the magic boutique garage – entry in
Macarthur "Women's Bridge 2 Bridge" 24th September
Dear Female Cyclist
How would you like the opportunity to help
raise the profile and benefits of cycling and at the same time race for top
prize money and championship points? Well you can by entering in the Macarthur
"Women's Bridge 2 Bridge" criterium race on 24 September 2005.
This event is organised by Macarthur Collegians Cycling Club and the Bargo Bicycling Committee. This is no ordinary race event.
There are 3 grades open to U/19's, elite women and masters. The 3.4km hot dog circuit in the Bargo town centre is a flat course with small rises for variation and has no significant hills. The finish line is at the Bargo Hotel, where the spectator community can comfortably gather and have access to amenity. The course also offers some high vantage points for spectators to see more of the race action. It is a women's only event because our committee feels that women in cycling need more support and greater profile.
great reasons to enter:
Event is a NSW Championship points event; Politicians will be attending; Partnership event with Wollondilly Council, RTA, Road Safety, and NSW Police; You are assisting Bargo to promote itself as a cycling town
Easy access from regional and city centres. Just one hours drive from Sydney, Sutherland, Penrith, Goulburn and Wollongong.
Goulburn Cycling Classic will pass through Bargo the next day.
Children's entertainment on the Saturday; Race commentary; Hand Crafted trophies and flower arrangements for top 3 place-getters; Prizes for 10 place getters in each grade; Discount coupons at local stores. Enclosed are vouchers containing special offers from Fruit De Boop Café , Dingo Sanctuary and Bargo Skin Care & Body .
