Thankyou to all the volunteers today without you these events wouldn't run.

Any Preliminary results?

Fingers crossed for Orange in the results?

Great day out. Lots of orange & plain jerseys too well done Club members, riders, supporters & officials. The Club looks strong!

I have to say Mick, your looks have improved while you have been away!!

Congratulations to the organisers, good turn out, I hope CCCC pressed the home advantage.

Now the dust has settled it would be good for one of the committee members to clear up if wearing a plain shirt for CD races is accepted now, just for future member reference.

SS,

Rules do say that a plain jersey does cut it, orange is better but going out on a limb I would say that you will NEVER be rejected in a plain jersey.

I will post race details tomorrow but would like to say thanks to everyone -competitors,officials and volunteers for a successful CD road race at Calga. I would especially like to thank all the visiting clubs for turning up and providing some great competition. Special thanks to Ross Hayter for being the commie today and ensuring a successful days racing.

I thought this was rather interesting and somewhat relevent to recent discussions as well.  Enjoy.

Great job on running the CD graded scratch races CCCC

It was well supported by the riders 120 + and went quite smoothly and there was some great racing in all grades.

Today I emailed the Central Division Chief Commissaire to get the official wording Re: Plain jersey at a CD event.

"There is no problem wearing the old club shirt for a couple of seasons after the new kit is introduced, and a plain jersey will be ok if rider has not yet purchased a club jersey."

Hope this stops any grey areas and/or people guessing what they think the rule is.

Thanks for clearing that up Mick.

Well done on following this up Mick.
Great that no-one was left disappointed for this CD race & will be safe for future CD events too.

Hopefully someone has informed Clyde
Seriously though - not sure who the current CD rep is (used to be Jock?) but hope they look to get the CD rules updated on the website as well - "No club or team shirt = NO RACE" looks a bit harsh in print.

Sometimes you need to encourage higher learning with simple instruction.  I can tell you from experience that there are a lot of neanderthals who know how to ride a bike.

Clyde was a stickler for having riders take pride in showing off their club or sponsor in CD events.  But he always left room for those who could not be edumacated.  A plain white shirt was always acceptable in the absence of club/sponsored kit.  Main problem was that noone ever brought plain white shirts with them.
