The West Coast Masters Cycling Club would like to invite women to participate in two “Try out” road races to be held on the 20th & 27th of April. As it is a “Masters” club you need to be over 30.
The Herne Hill race to be held on the 20th will be 36kms. This is 4 laps starting at the corner of Argyle & Lefroy Rds , into Oakover rd, Campersic rd, Williams rd & finishing in Lefroy rd.
The Wandi race is a 9km circuit starting in Wandi Dve left into Lyon rd, left into de Haar rd, and finishing in Wandi Dve. This will also be 4 laps.
Nominations will be $10 taken on the day. There will 1st, 2nd, & 3rd place prizes awarded.
Lorraine Shutz and myself Fran Watson will ride with the group for 1 or 2 neutral laps, then you can“Go for it”.
Most of you will have ridden in your training groups, and your cyclo sportif events, or done tri training, so racing is not really that different. Safety is paramount, and we aim to show you that racing can be safe and good fun, and you will be riding with women only doing their first race with our club.
The West Coast Masters Club is a racing club. We road race in the winter & do criterium racing in the summer. Races are graded from A grade to D grade. We are a well organised sociable club, that boasts many world champions. We have photo finishes at the end of all races, and prize presentations follow. To be a master, men must be 35, and women 30.
All riders are insured, and we are able to offer you ladies 2 races without being a paid up member.
The insurance proviso is that you must be "new to racing” and that you have "not ridden any other races with our club”
Please come and “Have a Go”, and perhaps dispel some of the anecdotal myths that you may have heard about “racing”. It is nice short race, and it will entirely belong to you women.
INFO:
-Both races start at 9am, registration starts at 8am.
-Registration for Herne Hill is at the Herne Hill primary school in Argyle Rd where we have use of their undercover area and toilets plus plenty of parking.
-Registration for Wandi are in Brooks Pl (side rd off Wandi dve). Parking is roadside, and we have mobile toilets.
Lorraine and I will help with all info on the day, plus tips about racing and safe riding. Most of you will recognise Lorraine (World Champion Time Trialer, and silver medallist in world track championships in Sydney 2007. And me…. Fran the “Old” girl of cycling. You’ll recognise me by my bright red hair.
Come and be our guest, & have some fun !!!
Email me allanjw@arach.net.au with expressions of interest or any queries.
Happy Cycling

Hi Fran,
Will we need a CA licence to participate in this? Thanks
To 'have a go' and ride in these 2 events that Fran has organised, you do not require a CA licence. For the event you are covered by the West Coast Masters Cycling Insurance.
A point to note, if you wish to continue riding with the Masters you will be required to take out a licence which is different to the CA licence, thus if you wish to also ride WACF events you will need 2 licences. Moves are a foot for the 'West Coast Masters' or 'Australian Veteran Cycling Council', which is the parent body, to ultimately merge with CA, but at this stage there is no time frame.
