Pinkenba ITT abandoned 

Message from Event Chief Commissaire:

The Individual Time Trail at Pinkenba (Sun 31st March 2019) was abandoned due to safety concerns. The number of trucks on the road made for unsafe conditions, along with a number of riders not using common sense and placing themselves and others in danger. All riders are reminded that it is their responsibility to know and obey the rules. While these decisions are difficult to make, everyone's safety is paramount. 

The club will look for alternatives to mitigate these risks, or find a suitable replacement course. All riders have a credit at any other race, or contact our Treasurer with your bank details if you would prefer a refund.

Hamilton Wheelers - Volunteering

 The 2018 Presentation night saw Warren Jones take out the winners $500 bonus for fulfilling his club Volunteer duty during the last twelve months. Every time a member acted as a volunteer their name went into the draw from some 331 members.

The night also marked the start of the next "Volunteer Roster" year, so it is important that all members be aware of the new roster start date and begin nominating a day that suits them to act as a volunteer. It is club policy that every member act in this role at least once every year. You can nominate your spot in the on-line calendar HERE

It is also club policy that if you go to nominate for an event the third time in the ensuing year and have not nominated a roster date you will not be allowed to race until you do.

For the coming year each time you volunteer you will receive a "Race Pass" that entitles you to tender that instead of money to enter any Hamilton Wheelers event (except our annual open events -Anzac 25 & Track Carnival). You also get 2 points in the 2019 Winter Aggregate pointscore if you volunteer at an event during the winter race season.

Finally, you will also get an entry into the Volunteer draw at the 2019 Presentation night. This year the prize will be your 2020 CA licence fee instead of the $500 voucher, so it is really worthwhile to do your bit for the club and be in the draw!

• Most Improved rider - Eric Van Driel

• Most Improved Junior - Ren Bao Tsen

The "Race of Champions" novelty event was won by Mark Creaby for his "sponsor" Matt Smart.

Unfortunately, Mark was unable to break the Pinkenba course record recently set by Andy Patten.

National Masters Road Championship 2018

Queenslanders have had some great results at the 2018 Cycling Australia Masters Road National Championships in East Gibbsland Victoria.

Andy Patten won GOLD in the Masters 5 ITT and Colin Howkins BRONZE in the Masters 9 ITT. Both riders have been in fine form recently.

Phil Kesby also made it back to back championships in the Masters 6 Road Race. We don't see much of Phil as he spents a lot of his time training and racing in Europe. One of his fellow competitors passed on this message: 

"Would just like to pass on a kind word of the representative from your club who won the masters men 6 Australian championships in the road race - Phil Kesby. First of all, congratulations on a fine ride, you deserved it , and thanks for the kind words of encouragement during the race. I was very happy with my own performance but your words to me have given me good reason to continue at this level after many yrs away from it. Thankyou very much great sportsman ship on Phil's behalf. Hope to race against Phil again next year. 
Your club can hold your head high."

Col Howkins
