Message from Doug – for those who start at 6:00am, please slow down when you pass the time keepers and call number one at a time. Please don’t sprint through when there is a group of you.
Optional double distance next week, registration opens at 4:30am, can start by 5:00am. Now that DSL has started, front and rear lights are essential, NO LIGHTS – NO START.
Uniform order has been put through, another order will be made in November. If you are not sure on sizing, some samples will be available at Tri or visit Cannibal.
Wendy congratulated: Molly Styman – 12th birthday. Also Tracy Foyster for her 14th place in the world champs in Chicago USA. She was also the 2nd Aussie home. Long time competitor Marg Carney recently retired with her husband Bill who owned South Tweed Cycles.
Dr Bike – Helmets – make sure they are property fitted, not sitting too far back or too far forward. Take time to adjust when you have put them on. Aero bars are good for straight sections of road, if you approach corners or other possible dangers, grab the drops so you have good control and easy access to the brakes.
Halloween Helmets – maybe we could try this one on at Tri
Random prize draws:
Sarah Lueddeman – Coast Cyclery
