RICE Racing update

I just received this from Nick Flyger - all very exciting news.

"Hi All,

Over the past 2 months we have tried and tested a few things to see how many people are keen to have regular races. The response has been great and we are now ready to take the next step so without further ado here are some important announcements...

- We have our own Domain name! You can now stay up to date on Rice Racing via the new web address www.riceracing.org Hopefully it will now be easier for you to tell your friends how to find us. If you need to contact us or have any problems with the website please send an email to: getcooked@riceracing.org

- In order to prevent cross posting to other local mailing lists please take the time to Join the E-Mailing List and/or the FaceBook group "Rice Racing - Get Cooked on a Bike!". From now on all announcements will be through these two sources only. I expect email to be limited to 1 per week at the max.

- I have updated the race course page on the website to include better maps and instructions.

- I have settled on using three racing circuits. Two are south and east of the city but within easy driving or riding. I am working on a circuit north of the city to accommodate people living up that way.

***NEXT RACE 6th JUNE***
- For those not going to XTERRA we will have a race at the Putrajaya Circuit on Saturday the 6th of June. Start at the usual time of 8am.

***TEAM TIME TRIAL 21st JUNE***
- We have purchased race numbers and are now ready to begin registrations and grading. So at 8am on Sunday June the 21st we will have a Team Time Trial that will also serve as a registration and grading day.

We will race on the 56 km E21 (Kajang-Mantin-Kajang) Circuit (directions HERE)

Teams of four (at least three must finish together)
Two categories: Normal Bicycles or Bicycles with Aerodynamic Components
Entry Fee is 10 RM which covers the cost of race numbers. You keep those numbers for the rest of the race races this year
Based on your team time we will grade everyone so that at future races can have graded bunches or handicapped starts
If you cannot find a team or your team is short of members register anyway and I will try to match you with other people looking for teammates
Several days prior to the TTT your team will be given a start time. Please ensure you are on the line and ready to start at exactly this time.

You can register your team HERE


Cheers
Nick
