The Committee will be meeting shortly with a view to finalising a club programme for 2008. AGM At the Annual General Meeting, Saturday 1 December 2007, the election of officers occurred as follows:  President Greg Taylor Treasurer Richard Bates Secretary To be confirmed Club Captain Mark Ireland Web Master Keith Monnington Social Event Organiser Raewyne Cathie Thursday night race organiser Talbot Munro Saturday training organiser Steve Came Race officials & time keepers Brian Kelly and Brian Melville Race entries Heath Lett Committee James Boyd  Please note that we are still looking for a Secretary.  This position is not onerous and if anybody is interested, can you please make contact with Greg Taylor 578 1403, mobile 0274 949 911, or Richard Bates 576 7838, mobile 021 888 271.  Club Champs  The club champs were held on 1 December 2007.  Results have been posted on the website  HYPERLINK "http://www.taurangacyclingclub.co.nz" www.taurangacyclingclub.co.nz Membership / Treasurer’s Report Our membership is at a record high of 138 for this time of the year. Our finances are in good shape. We have a strong committee. All very promising for the future of cycling in Tauranga. Our club provides a great line up of events throughout the year and is good value for money. The more riders we can encourage into our club the more events we can run and the better patronised they will be. There are still many non member gate crashers at our club rides. Please help to encourage these riders to join. All riders should have a green sticker on their helmet. See you on the road. Richard Bates UPCOMING EVENTS Non Club   We have posted on the website an event calendar with various upcoming events from the end of January through to April 2008.  The next event is the Twin Dams on Waitangi Day, 6 February 2008. I am told that this is a particularly enjoyable ride and I look forward to seeing as many people from Tauranga over there for this event. Waikato / Bay of Plenty Cycling Centre Events  29 March 2008 Club team time trial championships 12 April 2008 Individual time trial 17 May 2008 Centre half distance road championships  It would be good if the Tauranga Road Cycling Club could enter a few teams to compete in the club team time trial championships.  Teams would be seeded on ability and prior to the event the teams would have some specific time trial training together.  If anybody is interested, can you contact Greg Taylor on 578 1403 or mobile 0274 949 911   Club Events  The regular rides continue, being: Tuesday night from the Mount Hockey Centre at 6.00pm until the end of Daylight Saving; Club race Te Tumu Road-Maketu Road circuit, 6.15pm each Thursday; Saturday morning training ride 6.30am Koops Cycles, Cnr 17th Ave and Cameron Road, Tauranga; Sunday morning ride 7.25am Barkes Corner, Tauranga.   Club Races  The Committee are currently finalising club races for the balance of summer and the autumn. Club races will be circulated shortly.   AROUND THE RACES Lake Taupo Challenge   Taupo provided perfect conditions for the annual ride around Lake Taupo.  I am aware that a number of club members achieved their PB's and congratulations to you.  4 hours 20 minutes is normally regarded as a good time for the solo challenge.  I noted the following results at the sharper end of the race as follows:  James Boyd - 4 hours 09 minutes - 8th overall, 2nd in the 35-44 age group Richard Coffey - 4 hours 09 minutes - 11th overall, 1st in the 45-54 age group Simon Binnie - 4 hours 12 minutes John Cobald - 4 hours 12 minutes Greer Fuller - 4 hours 15 minutes   Congratulations to all club members who completed the course and you will now have to target beating your PB.   Waihi Hilly Time Trial  The Waihi Hilly Time Trial is a 130 km time trial from Waihi to Whangamata, Hikowai, Kopu, Paeroa and back to Waihi, and was run on 16 December 2007.  The course had various areas of road works and the day featured sunny conditions, heavy rainfall, and at times strong winds.  Good results from Tauranga club members were achieved as follows:  Steve Came 1st Vet A and 2nd finisher overall Richard Coffey 2nd Vet C Greg Taylor 3rd Vet C John Cobald 1st Vet D Richard Bates 2nd Vet D   Richard Bates won the trophy for the Masters adjusted time. POINT SERIES 10 members from our club entered the Waka-Roc Points series Mini Tour held on the 19th and 20th January. Day one was a Time Trial and 2 road races. Day 2 a time trial and 1 road race. This series is either a great way to see how that summer training is going or a painful method of getting rid of those lingering Christmas calories. Conditions were fine and windy. The courses rolling with moderate climbs on picturesque uncrowded Waikato roads.. Our star hope Heath Lett suffered a flat tyre just before the start of the first time trial. A quick wheel change prepared him for his second flat tyre during the TT. Then in the first road race a third flat tyre. Despite offers of a new wheel for the second road race Heath decided to pack up and go home to score some brownie points. I have to confess in the second road race I was hoping for a flat tyre or some mechanical excuse to stop. The Tauranga team had tried to enter the B grade but speedy time trial times and good performances in the first road race (which was unseeded) meant that Wayne Campbell, Greg Taylor, Richard Bates and Jon Peterson had to do battle in A grade. Crying about our ages to race director Stephen Cox fell on deaf ears. Our results ranged from 4th to 12th places in the A grade races (19 riders) so not far off the pace. A most enjoyable well run mini tour. Contributor: Richard Bates   CLUB NEWS  Steve Came rode an excellent bike leg in a team at the Tauranga Half Iron Man.  Steve recorded the third fastest time overall and averaged over 42 km/h for the 90 kms.  Be careful out there. Members will have read in the paper the incident involving Hugh Clarke on Welcome Bay Road outside the shops. I am not sure of the circumstances but I am always very wary travelling past the shops. I have had cars pull out, pull across and turn in front of me. A few tips for riding around Tauranga are: If you are approaching a roundabout or an intersection and you have the right-of-way, don’t assume that the motorist will give way and unless you can get eye contact with the motorist, slow down and stop or be ready to stop. If a motorist overtakes you approaching an intersection and is not going a lot faster than yourself, he is likely to turn left in front of you. Be wary of the motor car out there. All cyclists need to ride defensively and never assume that you have the right-of-way.   Tauranga Open  The Committee are looking to re-implement the Tauranga Open and we will keep you updated in this regard.  If a Tauranga Open is held we will need volunteers from club members to successfully run the event.
