How to pin on your number

Here is the correct way to pin on your number for races with Hamilton Wheelers. We use a camera directly in line with the finish. This means you number must be clearly visible directly from side on.
  • Pin you number across your ribcage (not on your back) when leant over in a sprint position
  • Make sure it's on the correct side - right side for normal direction Nundah, left side for most road courses and reverse crits
  • Check to make sure the number isn't folded over
  • You can angle the number so it's vertical when leant over
  • Extra pins are available if you need to make it more 'aero'
  • 'My mate did it for me' is not a good excuse!
  • Don't forget to claim your places straight after the race
Volunteering at the finish line is a good way to see who can and can't pin a number on!

Can you read all these numbers?

Sunday 5th February 2023 Nundah Results


Big fields at Nundah! There was a crash in B grade today with some riders very sore but hopefully without any serious injuries - a couple of cracked ribs, a nasty gash and road rash was hopefully the worst of it as far as we know.

Australian Junior Track Series Round 3 (Adelaide) - Race Report

To cap off the Australian Junior Track Series, Ethan Lang made the trip down to a scorching hot Adelaide Super-drome to represent Hamilton Wheelers in what would be his comeback race after breaking his collarbone at junior road nationals in September. One week after surgery Ethan began a solid eight-week block of indoor training that resulted in a very impressive improvement in FTP (fitness). So, despite missing three months of JETS track training at Anna Meares Velodrome Ethan was confident of a good showing in Adelaide.

The first day of racing incorporated the national omnium championships. Ethan easily qualified for the championship event by scoring a point in the first sprint of his points race heat placing him in the top 20.

The omnium championship was hotly contested by the best U17 track riders in Australia. For Ethan, it was a to be a lesson in training specificity and reacquainting himself with shoulder-to-shoulder U17 track racing. After a long, hard day of racing, when other riders were beginning to fatigue, Ethan started to find his legs. In the final event of the omnium, the points race, Ethan was back to his usual ways, attacking, bridging gaps and being competitive in the sprints.

In the evening after his four omnium events, Ethan had “the sorest quads he has ever experienced”. Not at all unexpected considering he hasn’t raced on the boards since April 2022 and has had less than an hour of training on his track bike since then. Ethan can now appreciate the unique power and strength you gain from pushing a single gear around a velodrome. No wonder our Aussie track riders do so well in road events too.

The second day of racing saw more improvement again as Ethan became more confident onthe track bike. Although the results sheet doesn’t reflect it, it was a great outcome for him. In the series, we had 4 juniors representing the Hamilton Wheelers with Porter White
leading our U17 men in 24 th overall. Lachlan Walters was not far behind in 27 th and Ethan brought home the back of the pack in 43 rd . Meanwhile, Harrison Dowling took out 30 th in the U15 men. Our U17 Men will also be training hard now having been selected to the QLD junior track team to compete at nationals in April.



Track Training

Track is Back! 

As the dust settles on the track Nationals and Oceania Champs, with newly crowned National Champions in the club, Hamilton has teamed up with Ipswich and Gold Coast to host regular track training sessions.
 
The sessions will be Saturday afternoons at AMV kicking off on the 30th April and are open to accredited track riders from U13 to Masters. Club coaches will run the sessions and will be able to accommodate all levels from beginners to Champs.
 
Bookings are to be made through buncheur and a new link will be provided each week. Here’s the link for the 30th April 

 
https://www.buncheur.com/gold-coast-cycling-club-track-training--anna-meares-velodrome-1
 
If you haven’t tried track riding or aren’t accredited for Anna Meares Velodrome (AMV) and would like to get involved, Auscycling run come and try sessions (C&T) every Saturday morning and accreditation sessions once a month following a C&T session. Furthermore, if you don’t yet have a track bike, one can be loaned/hired from Auscycling for the C&T and accreditation session which is an awesome way to try it out before investing in all the gear.
 
Sessions are listed on the Auscycling events calendar (filter on QLD and Track) and below are links to upcoming C&T and accreditation on the 30th April:

Traffic Controllers Needed

For Road Race Permits on open roads, the club now requires accredited event traffic marshals - just normal club volunteers can easily be accredited.

So to conduct road races at our locations like Elimbah and Pine Dam, we need a pool of members (18 years +) who have undertaken the short, on-line accreditation course offered by the State Government.

To ensure we can keep racing, the club is asking for anyone with an interest in this activity and who would like to complete the course, to do so. 

The links below provide information and access to the course which takes approx 30 minutes. The club, of course, will pay for any expenses incurred by any member. This would be a great contribution to the club in an ongoing capacity and be greatly appreciated. For more information, please contact Wayne (Willow) Wilson

Volunteer Roster - Nominate before your next race
 

This is a reminder for Hamilton Members about our Volunteering Roster.


All racing members (including riders who are members of more than one club) are required to assist with the running of a race just once per season (November through October). It's a great way to give something back to the sport and your club, and learn about what makes racing happen each week.

Our policy is that after racing twice, you must then nominate a date for assisting, otherwise your entry may be refused. We would like to avoid a situation where racing has to be cancelled or entries refunded or refused, so please jump on the website and nominate a date before your next race. You register via the website calendar, just find an event that requires volunteers and put down your name. The system will email you with reminders.

If you want to check, the members grading list has highlighted riders who need to nominate with the number of races you've done and your nominated date so use that to check.


Hamilton Wheelers Weekly e-mail reminder

Each Tuesday we produce a small e-mail to remind members of the next weekend's racing and training events.  The service is open to anyone and you may elect to be removed from the mailing list at anytime. Your e-mail address will not be made public.

If you have subscribed to our weekly E-Newsletters but are not receiving them (usually on Tuesday evenings), please check your junk mail or spam mail folder. 

If the club emails are there, change your settings to accept these emails in the future.  Hotmail spam filters have always caused problems with our email newsletters – please subscribe using a different email address if possible.
