Good afternoon everyone 😻
In preparation for the ride on Saturday , please have a captain cook at the important bits here you need to know to help Everyone have a jolly day:
Start time:
If people could be there by about 7am, that will give you time to be ready for a quick briefing from chatty challis, have a nervous wee, do some star jumps and burpees to warm up, listen to Geoff Rollins curse about how cold it is, Ockers to tell you how warm it is in the car and find your following vehicle if you want to throw a little bag in and be ready to to roll out on time.

The designated feed stop for the ride is at the Frankford Hall where there are public toilets and some beautiful ladies to give you some sas, some cheeky encouragement and food and drinks.
If you want to stop anywhere as a group, just chat to the designated leaders and it will be all good. (Previously we have stopped at Beaconsfield toilets to shed a few layers before the climb and use toilets and is easy to do if you wish.)
Where:
Starting and finishing at the Prospect Park Sports Club, Harley Parade, Prospect Vale.
Support:
This sanctioned event is being held in accordance with the requirements of the Tasmania Police Charity Trust.
There will be support vehicles, Ockers providing free advice and encouragement, with a few tools but please also carry your own spares because nick clark has no idea how to change a flat.
We have first aid, food and drinks provided.
The event is covered by liability insurance.
Attitude :
It aint a race, so cool your jets tiger and the aim of the ride is to stay as a group and help everyone get around .
However ….. if you are feeling a bit toey, like you missed out on your call up for the Giro agan this year or your life is consumed by strava, like Geoff Rollins, feel free to light it up big dawg 💥 and show us your stuff on the Holwell Climb. Probably be a prize for each group kom . Maybe .
Be a bit careful though on the other side of the climb as there’s a few shady and dodgy corner traps for young players.
When you’re done strutting your stuff, Just chill at the Frankford Hall with your ego until we can all re group.
Point out the pot holes and hazards ✅✅
If someone gets a flat or a mechanical, stop as a group and help them out 👍
The cops will be there, so we best follow all the road rules.
Push me or let me sit on if i start to struggle please 🙏.
The After Party:
BBQ 🍖 ✅ from 130 .
We will have access to changerooms, showers and the clubrooms like last year so bring a change of clothes.
Club Bar will be open and all purchases help support the club which in turn support us with the facility.
We really enjoy the chance to catch up with the cycling community so it would be great if you want to hang around for a bit. We have to be done by 5 as they have another event on.
Once again we have some amazing raffle prizes up for grabs.
Contact Numbers:
You can call dalts or clarkey but we will be riding, so best bet will be matt: 0417540991 and he will sort you out.
Weather is looking prime and we still have some spots available, so are happy to take late entries if you are keen.
Looking forward to a great day. Thankyou again to all our sponsors, all the legends helping out and donating their time to make the day work and of course to everyone participating to raise money for a good cause 🙏🫶🏻
