Hello all Female Riders... It's me Chey...woot party 
...or don't :'(
Now I am feeling old... not only do you mention infinity as an age (which I assume is to include the Masters age :'().... but I am not sure I even grasp the language here
!
Chey your dad has mentioned this a few times and here is my suggestion to you. Sue Tierney, myself and Kiera have discussed the Team Trial and have already decided to enter a team, you are welcome to join us. Better than the three of us combined would be Freya and she has Time Trial experience to burn... however she is "voluntarily retiring" from riding bikes to concentrate on horses (and is not interested - I have already been there). The other two picks for me would be Louise K and Hol. I am not sure that Louise will be able to ride as she has a lot going on for the next couple of months, Hol hasnt been competing much but is riding heaps, is strong and I think the Calga course would suit her well. I think you could twist both these girls arms into at least training with us just in case, even if they were not interested in being on the main team. If Hol and or Lou were a definite not interested I would approach our Vice President and see if you could apply some pressure to be our back up.... even though she swears that she is not a roadie!
So the team I would suggest would be: Sue T, Keira, myself and you off the bat, and you should also ask Hol and Lou... there are your six. I know that this is important to you for points towards Roadwoman of the year, but remember that you will have team mates that come from a different perspective, for whom second place might be more than satisfactory.... lets just have a go and see what happens...
Is there a reason the team must be 18 plus? As I think Renee Manwaring is a really strong rider and the twins are really cranking at the moment, so they could be excellent OR thinking about a team of their own - GIRLS?
I have ridden against the three of you lots in D grade and think all of you would be great in a team - either with women or on your own... with another under 18 ... not sure on the age requirements. There is no reason we cant enter a couple of teams and all train in together... that way if only a couple of each team turns up we can still do some technique work as a group.
Since we have the Wed night track training over winter option i think that would be the best place to start. Road racing is starting, so we can always crank out an extra lap as a team at the end of our races. I have asked Mick Curren about helping out a womens team and he was happy to lend a hand as well. Given Graeme Tierney's recent form I am sure he will have some wisdom to share, so I dont think we need to stress too much about getting some help.
Suggest putting team together and then enter both the CD TTT event at Kooragang in May and follow up with the State TTT event at Calga in June. From a team manager point of view... I think it would be great if it was a girl... but not one of the starting line up.
