With the imminent return of Hanson Reserve Velodrome for the clubs' use there is some excitng news, but we need help on all fronts!
There was some cracking Junior sprinting at the Superdrome last night during the running of PACC's Seight Sports Sprint Wars. The conditions were perfect for some great qualifying times, with most Juniors beating and in some cases absolutely smashing their 200m times from Junior States.
Sports Vouchers is a State Government initiative administered by the Office for Recreation and Sport and Racing (ORSR). The program is an opportunity for primary school children to receive a $100 discount on sports club/membership fees. This is double what was previously on offer. The purpose is to increase the numbers of children playing organised sport and to reduce the costs for parents.
If you have a spare 5 minutes, the Committee and Volunteers would appreciate you making sure all your membership details are updated and accurate. This makes it a lot easier to upload race information into the timing system and ensure we can communicate more effectively with you, our valued members.
A depleted field enjoyed racing on a spectacular twilight cyclo-cross course around the old Port Adelaide Canal following ZipTrak Stage 1 of the Santos Tour Down Under.
Cycling Australia has updated its membership platform (from Sports TG to TidyHQ) and significant progress has been made in the last few days on transferring of data. We are excited about the enhancements that have been offered immediately and new features to be rolled out in the coming months. These should help us with better communication to members, and make things a little easier for our volunteers.
Last night saw the running of the first Seight Sports Sprint Wars for the season.
Near perfect conditions (14 degrees, sunny, 7km/h ESE winds) for the second round of the Zero Friction Cycling Time Trial at Outer Harbor. Mat Franks started the day with a win in the random draw for a new chain. Thanks Adam Kerin for your continued support.
For the second season running Zero Friction Cycling is back to spice up the PACC TTs as a series. Time trials are considered the pure 'race of truth' - it's just you versus the clock - no excuses!
2019 will be an exciting year for PACC, with the restoration of Hanson Reserve Velodrome currently well underway, scheduled to be completed late Jan 2019.
