MCC riders busy last weekend.

Added: Thursday 29th July

A few results have reached the editors desk this week from last weekends big events around SEQ. While we were all enjoying a night in front of the TV watching the time trial of the Tour de France a few Murwillumbah riders were about half way through their 24 hr ride. With the backing of a great support team Steve Johnson pedalled through the night and until lunchtime Sunday finishing 2nd in his age division and 5th overall and completing 26 laps of the 14.3 km in 24hrs. That’s just over 370 km.

Well done Steve and we wish him good luck when he competes in the World Championships at Stromlo Park in Canberra this October.

Good luck to Murwillumbah riders in events this weekend.

A few members will be absent from our club race Saturday as they compete in a couple of major races around South East Queensland.
 
We have a strong group of riders competing in the Tour of the Scenic Rim in Boonah which is just west of Ipswich. The TSR will test riders skills in the time trial, road race and a crit over 2 days.
 
And while we are signing on Saturday for our Murwillumbah Club Race spare a though for Steve Johnson as he joins many other crazy mountain bikers as they tackle the Merida 24 hour race at Old Hidden Vale. This event is a qualifying race for the 24HRS OF ADRENALIN World Solo Championships that will be held next October at Mt Stromlo in the ACT. His race will finish lunchtime Sunday.
 
Good luck to all of our riders this weekend and let’s hope that we see a few MCC jerseys on the podium.

Added: Saturday 19th of June 2010

There are plenty of ways to get into cycling with our club. Murwillumbah Cycle Club caters for all ages and abilities. Many new riders are introduced through friends or other members and often join us on social rides. Many of you then wish to make the next step into racing.

The most popular membership is a 3 day licence that costs $44. This will allow you to ride in 3 races within a 3 month period to see if you like racing. If you decide to join full time then this fee will go towards your annual membership fee. There are some limitations on events that a 3 day rider can enter so please check with any of the club contacts listed on our website.

Attention important message !

Added: 07/06/2010

Presentation for Saturday road racing will not be commenced until all the grades are finished. In the event of an accident , the provision of first aid will take priority over the presentation. We have a duty of care to all riders. Not just the riders in the top grade's. If you ride from the coast and your worried about riding home in the dark, bring lights or drive.

Also uncollected prize money will only be held for one week. So if you want the money wait around. And certainly do not hassle official's about it. Your cooperation is appreciated.
