State Team Time Trial Championships

 
If you are racing please remember to bring your racing licence. It’s a long and painful process to sign on for an open event if you don’t have it with you.
 
This Sunday will see nine Sunshine Coast teams including six complete sets of Merv’s Marvels competing at Laidley. I’ll be getting there nice and early with the club tents. Click here to see the location… look for the pink X.
 
There will be plenty to choose from in the food department. The organisers will have a kiosk. Plus our club will have the BBQ running with plenty of sausages available.  There will be gluten free sausages, properly isolated and identified.  If you want to bring something of your own to cook that’s fine.
 
Club Meeting
 
The next club committee meeting will be at Maroochydore High School at 7pm next Thursday, October 2nd.
 
Presentation Dinner
 
The club presentation dinner will be held at the Waterfront Hotel on Friday October 24th. Details are being finalised and will be published shortly. Members $35, non-members $40, children $20.

Track News
 
Merv McDonald is organising an open track carnival for juniors at Caboolture velodrome on November 15th. This event already has 2 sponsors on board but more support for the juniors would be well received. Contact Merv if you can help in any way.
 
The track season is about to start. CQ has published a draft calendar. The track sub-committee will be speaking to some key individuals from other clubs over the next couple of weeks and there will then be at least 4, up to possibly 9 events being run at Caboolture between November and March.
 
Wednesday nights are hotting up at Caboolture velodrome and with Chandler out of action there’s a big group of riders preparing for a trip to Sydney for the Masters Worlds in October and they are in full flight. Lights go on at 6:30pm. Contact Ross Blumel on 0418871105 or Dave Weir on 0405450624 for further details or if you need a track bike.
