Winter Seriers Rnd 3 and RAMBO Round Sunday 15th July
Angela Farrell
Hi Everyone,
The next winter series round forms part of our interclub series with Albury, Bright, Mt Beauty and Beechworth. This means a slightly different format than usual, slightly more expensive entry fees and more riders from other clubs out on track. The course is still very manageable for riders of all levels. See event details below.
We will need assistance setting up the rego area and I will need a minimum of 3 people to help with timing for the duration of the race. This might be a good job for partners or friends who will be out spectating and is a very easy job. Outside of the 6 hour and Tumut 3 hour, this is our next biggest event in terms of rider numbers and duration, so please let me know if you are able to help out in any way on the day, as we are going to need a few hands on deck - especially before and after the event. I will email more details about this closer to the time, but for now please think about how you or family/friends might be able to assist the club on the day, while you still get to enjoy your ride.
Thanks
Angela
