Kim Flesser (Fless), HWCC Vice Captain has this wrap up:


133 riders had a great hit-out at our final Belbaker Twilight Series race meeting tonight.
 
There's been a boil-over in D Grade! For the first time ever, we've had a woman lead the twilight series championship. Well done to Tannae Rafter for a fine win with now 10 points taking her into the leaders jersey competition. Poor Matthew Smart has been knocked off the perch, but he says he's confident he can win that jersey back in the new year (he also said he could have beaten Tannae tonight...yeah..sure!).
 
The C Grade also saw the winner's jersey change hands. Kurt Jacobs win was enough for him to take the kit off Finn Sleigh. However, it's still neck and neck in C Grade with Mark Taylor also sitting on equal points with Kurt. Kim Rasker and Quinn Findlay continue to have great seasons, winning First Lady and Ladies Prime respectively.
 
Shannon Duggan and Ethan Kimmince shared the highest aggregate points in the B grade points race. That was enough forEthan to maintain the Belbaker Yellow Leaders Jersey. Nice job by Jess Pratt to win first lady.

A Grade was quite a hit-out with a large field and some top quality riders including a few with international UCI licences.
The stand-out ride was by Alastair Mackellar with a brave (unsuccessful) solo break-away, backed up by a fine win. Craig Wiggins 3rd place was enough to secure him the leaders jersey for now. Bailey McDonald, Ryan Thomas and Liam Farrell shared the big $280 of cash available for the Primes.
Our brave Club Captain Mick Cole tried his hand in this very fast field..well he hung on for quite a while anyway!
 
The C and B grade juniors had a nice hit-out with Ethan Lee of the Ipswich club winning C grade and Harrison Dowling again succeeding in B grade.
 
Well done to the winners of our lucky rider draws for each of the 4 senior races. A lazy 20 bucks found it's way into the hands of Ceran Nilsen, Murray McClymont, Dean Williams and Ren Han Tsen. To be in the lucky draw, all you have to do is enter to race and be at the clubhouse to claim your money.
 
A big thank you to Adam Baker and Belbaker Bus Charter for sponsoring our Wednesday Twilight Season this year. Round 4 will be on Wednesday 18th January - so don't over-indulge over the Christmas break if you want to get on the podium at that event!

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.  


 

Hamilton Wheelers Facebook Group

Our Hamilton Wheelers Facebook group is open to anyone with a Cycling Australia Licence interested in racing with us, and not just members. Feel free to join us! Remember content is monitored and any abuse will not be tolerated and will be reported. The group is a place to organise rides, talk about racing, and all things 'bike', but is not a place for promoting businesses, selling or spamming.

For security reasons we also don't allow psuedonyms which is also a condition of your facebook account. If you don't get added within a day, please contact Adam who can help you out.

Getting Started Guide 

 

STEP 1. Get a Licence

Getting started in competitive cycling is easy. To race you need to be a member of a Queensland cycling club and also have a AusCycling race licence.

You can join a club and obtain a licence online through through the AusCycling Membership system (you can also click on the image below). There are various membership options to suit what sort of riding you are into, but if you'd like to race you will need a Race-All Discipline licence which now let's your race in Road, Track, BMX, MTB and Cyclocross.

Costs vary depending on age, and you can elect to pay for 12 months, or month-by-month.



If you are not sure about racing and just want to give it a go you can get a Free 4 Week Trial membership which is a great offer. This offer is only open to riders who have not held a racing licence in the last 3 years. It offers the opportunity for people to try out racing (club races only) for 4 weeks from the date of purchase.  During this period, you can race with any club that supports this product (as many times as you like) noting normal race participation fees apply. Note that a Free Membership Trial is not a membership with any club  (Hamilton or otherwise) so you are not eligible for Club only events (such as interclub or club championship races).
