this year, rccc and us are running the state road championships. it will be held on the 3rd of november around a lake in wanneroo. the basics are below, and this year there are separate races for the different grades. these are the grades that you have been assigned to via the cwa grading system. the exception is the masters category which you can only race in if your licence is specified as a cycling australia masters licence. no day licences are available as this is a state champs.
as we are co-running this event, we will need to provide some volunteers. i am hoping to actually be racing, so will not be available on the day. we therefore need volunteers to take tents etc to the circuit, setup, line judge, sell refreshments and packup. we also need drivers for lead vehicles. DOME have kindly provided 3 cars for the 5 lead cars needed. we also need support cars for spares vehicles. if you are available to help, put your name in the comments. for those that are looking at racing, the circuit is basically flat with a long rise to the finishline.

Mate I’m happy to drive one of the cars or do anything else that is needed
jeepers. 107 km. Need to get on my bike!
Come and do the Saturday double (EBR + Fast) tomorrow.
So if CWA still have me listed as D grade (1st year of racing), even if I have been doing C grade events, does it mean I can’t race?
If not, happy to volunteer.
i don’t think that they stop you going up a grade, it was more to stop you dropping down and winning too much. i also don’t know if they have updated the grading lists for a while. you should be right to race c grade.
Thanks Pete!
They stopped Toby and myself racing A for the Armadale Kermese and I think Collie race too..
May pay to ask first- send them an email that you want to do C..
Dear all-knowing and wise Race sub-committee, is this too close to the ToMR?
hmmm… could be a nice hit out a week before TdMR – provided you stay upright. I’m keen – anyone else keen for a hit out in C-grade?
Pete, will be starting leave that day. Am happy to volunteer for driving or anything else needed. Also have a station wagon suitable for conveying tents, supplies etc or for as a spares vehicle.
bill, that would be excellent. i really didn’t want to have to cart everything up there, setup, race, then pack it all up again.
i will talk to you about it closer to the date when we get everything sorted.
thanks
We have to race in the correct cycling wa gradings?
