President’s report, June 2014

Dear Members,
• Coomie Club 3Hr Enduro September 21st – GET on with the TRAINING
• The flyers and a letters have been mailed to over 300 recipients including all members and competitors that have attended any of our meetings over the last three years. Let Nick know if you didn’t get one at -secretary@mountainlessbikeclub.net.au
• Flyers have been sent to Motels in Mildura and surrounds and to bike shops and bike clubs all over Victoria and SA.
• Two great events were held this month
o The first at Coomie on 1/6/2014 on the short track with 44 competitors and social riders. This track was set up by Nick and Damien with some help from Lenny and other Club members.
o Then 22/6/2014 at a special track convened by Mike Oz and Damien after we were unable to use the Billabong Track in Victoria at Bruces Bend. This meeting attracted 43 competitors and social riders.
o Both these events were hotly contested with some early season slow riders lifting their games and starting to improve drastically.
o One stand out is Amanda Dawes doing some excellent times in B grade Women’s after developing her skills and energy levels by attending Gym spin classes and riding a new carbon dually bike. Well done Amanda.
o Mike Oz seems to have hit a wall literally or is that a stump that has obviously got it in for him, as he keeps taking close looks at the ground via the handle bars of his bike. Hope Mike is Ok.
o Rohan also took a dive at the Coomie 1st of June event and has been unable to get back on the bike due to muscle damage to his shoulder. Rohan still has time to recover some points and get amongst the top echelon.
o All fields are improving with the strong junior u/13 contingent giving their best with Damon Dawes still leading the points but Jake Harriss is consistently wearing Damon’s times down, watch out Damon.
• Preparation is underway for the Coomealla Club 3Hr Enduro so if you are able to offer assistance with the program please feel free to contact any Committee member and offer your services.
• For that matter all committee meetings are open to all members and interested parties so come along and see what it is all about.
• Check out our website for the points standings.

Remember, – get fit, Keep fit, ride your Mountain Bike.
