Hamilton Elite Team - QRTS Report 23/24 July 2022
Many thanks again to Joe Hughes Accounting for assisting the club with generous sponsorship of our HWCC Elite Team.
Stage 1 was a 95 km undulating windy course at Imbill where the average speed was 39.79 km/hr.
Stage 2 saw the race move to Kandanga with an TTT in the morning and a road race in the afternoon. The team performed well in the TTT coming 7 th overall down 1.55 to a very strong Tandem Co Team.
The afternoon road race was a VERY testing hilly affair of 94 km with the pack being decimated by the nature of the course and the strong front riders. Your team performed magnificently with Ren Bao Tsen being in the lead pack all day and finishing in 11 th place (st) as the eventual winner. Jordan Mann was 21 st Liam Farrell 29 th Ben Wilcox 31 st and Zack Wilson 35 th . This was a TOUGH day but your team performed very well and this experience will stand them in good stead for Round 3 the Battle on the Border.

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.
