Great Sadness for Hamilton Members

 


It is with great sadness that we pass on the news of the death of 3 of our members and former members.

Carolyn Lister

The club has received awful news that Carolyn Lister passed away this morning after being hit by a vehicle on her morning commute, in the vicinity of her workplace at the RBWH.

Carolyn was a very strong rider who recently took up racing with us. She was excited to win her first race late last year. Carolyn was a keen traveler, having cycled in many places around the world. The club wishes to pass on our deepest condolences to her husband John.
 
Scott Irvine

Scott Irvine aged 34 years. Scott was a popular member of Hamilton Wheelers from 2015 to 2017. During this time he won the Bill Osbourne Memorial, The Most Improved Rider in the club and the Aggregate Points score trophies. He was a keen and enthusiastic participant who always raced with great vigour and commitment.

If anyone needs assistance in these peculiar times don’t hesitate in contacting https://www.beyondblue.org.au/about-us/contact-us 



 Ray Meredith

One of Hamilton’s greatest ever riders Ray Meredith passed away aged 82 years on June 9th. Ray’s list of Hamilton victories is way too long to list as are his achievements at State and National level.

Desperately close to both Commonwealth Games and Olympic selection on 2 occasions, Ray will be remembered for his aggressive and uncompromising style of racing and training. It was well known that when you rode in his group you would work hard, very hard, then most likely be beaten by him at the end of the day. A former member of the now defunct Sandgate Cycling Club, Ray became a stalwart of Hamilton Wheelers and was recognized at the Century Dinner of the club in 2008. A great rider and Hamilton member, Ray was celebrated at a private service.

2020 Century and Half Century Rides Sun July 26




Assuming restrictions continue to be relaxed by the Queensland State Government, the Club's Annual Century (161 kms) and Half-Century (80.5 kms) rides will be held on SUNDAY July 26, 2020.

Time: Meet no later than 6:30am at the Clubhouse for a 6:45am departure – don’t be late, as we don’t wait!

Registration: Pre-registration is essential REGISTER HERE 

These are club social rides, so please wear your Hamilton Wheelers club kit. In true club spirit, we will work together to share the load, while also looking out for each other and lending support where we can. Feel free to invite any non-club friends who you believe can last the distance – but they will be your responsibility!

Century Ride Details:

Ride Leader: Mick Cole (Hamilton Wheelers’ Club Captain)

The ride is very much intended to be a social ride, so if you have always wanted to ride a century (161 kms) but have been worried about doing it alone, this is your chance. Each year we have a few members complete their first century ride with us, and I am sure they’d agree that the ride was challenging in places, but very achievable. Average pace is generally around 28 to 30 km/h, depending on conditions and participants.

We will leave the clubhouse at 6:45am (sharp) and make our way out to Landsborough, where we will grab a takeaway coffee and something to eat before setting off home. After we have ridden back to Nundah, it's time to enjoy a free beer, soft drink and sausage sizzle!

If you have any questions, send Mick an email 

Half-Century Ride Details:

Ride Leader: Kim ‘ Fless’ Flesser (Hamilton Wheelers’ Vice-Captain)

For those who don't fancy the challenge of the century ride or simply don't have the time to go the distance, why not join the 50-mile (80.5 km) ride?

Same route as last year – Travel along the Kedron Brook onto the new Gateway Bikeway to Brighton, cross the bridge, on to Scarborough, back to the bridge via Elizabeth Ave, through Sandgate, Shorncliffe, Deagon, Boondall Wetlands, Nudgee Beach and back to the clubhouse. We can whip up to Nundah to get a coffee at the end of the ride. This is a slightly slower ride than the Century, averaging around 25 to 26 km/h.

Any questions – contact Fless – 

Vale Lindsay Green


It is with great sadness that we advise of the passing of one of Hamilton’s most respected men. Lindsay Green passed away Tuesday 26th May at his care facility in Caboolture. Thankfully he was active and still enjoying life until a few weeks ago, though missing his favourite biking sessions. He would turn 88 on May 31st.

Lindsay has been a Hamilton member since he moved from South Australia many years ago. A noted competitor, Audax hero and Paris-Brest-Paris finisher, Hamilton Club Champion, and above all a true gentleman, he will be well remembered and well and truly missed. 

Lindsay will be sadly missed by his wife Connie, children Tony and Jennifer, grandchildren Lauren and Grace and all his cycling buddies throughout the world.
